T]ie remark as to etymological identity, and possible or 

 actual difference of use, under the preceding table, applies here 

 also. It will be observed that not all the seven demonstrative 

 elements are on the Semitic side ; this, however, may be set 

 down to our ignorance of ancient (and even modern) vulgar 

 Semitic dialects. In Se., as in Oc, the numeral " one " is 

 also used for the indefinite article " an," '' a." We formerly 

 showed (in II.) that the numeral '' one " itself is of pronomi- 

 nal origin. 



§ 5. Relatives. 

 a. In what follows, the bracketed figures refer to the 

 demonstrative elements as numbered in § 1 a, or § 2 a. 



Mg. My.

lihy nen 



Ja. sang, kang 



Tag. ang (an), na 



Ja. ingkang (inkan) 



There is a close connection between the article and the 



relative ; yang is often = the ; tei is te, the, and ^ (2) ; o le 



is le, the, and e (2). For izao, and lehy, see § 2, h. Fa. 



uane (1, 5) is like the English "that," demonstrative and 



relative, as also is My. nen (5, 5), and Fa., S. dialect, naga 



(5, 6).
