 Mhe in Magor.

 Mi in Burmese. 

 Mi in Khyeng. 

 Mi in Mo'itai.

 Mha-i in Kumi. 



Fa-i in Khamti. 

 Fa-i in Tai. 

 Eo in Kong. 



These are introduced to show the 

 servile particle of Mizh, Mza, and 

 to show it superseding the root, 

 as in Pa for Ma, here, and in Ba 

 for Sa, voce ' Cow,' and in Di for 

 Bi, voce ' Skin.' 



{Fa servile. "We shall presently see 

 it usurping the place of the root. 



f These abundant instances from the 

 Mongolian series plainly prove 

 the root in the Caucasian series, 

 and they show that root precisely 

 such in every phase (mi, me, ma,) 

 as it is seen in the Caucasian 

 series. We thus securely pro- 

 ceed to the serviles or rather ser- 

 vile, and this the Manyak word, 

 below, gives in the primitive 

 state, unaltered by blending or 

 by euphony. We are therefore 

 certified as to its various altered 

 forms (zhi, za, se), in the Cauca- 

 sian series. Observe also in the 

 Mongolian series that all the ton- 

 gues which use the Mi root in the 

 sense of man have Me instead of 

 Mi for fire. 



fTurn to Ma-fa, supra, and note 

 again how the servile supersedes 

 the root, as in Zi for Mi, fire. 

 So also Tibetan Ba for Circas- 

 sian bsa, voce cow, and Anamese 

 Di for Dido Bi, voce skin ; the 

 last so decisively proved by the 

 Murmi form of the word wherein 

 root and servile both appear, Di- 

 «| bi. Thus the Circassian word 

 Ma-fa supplements and expounds 

 the Tai and Khamti word Fa-i ; 

 and this the Manyak word Sa- 



from my Tibeto-Himalayan vocabularies ; thus in full, Mi-sa, woman, in Newari, 

 Sa-mi, girl, in Burmese and Khyeng, and Sme, in Horpa, root Mi, Me, mankind, 

 and Sa, a feminine and diminutive sign. In short the Sa particle, like all others, 

 may be prefix or suffix, and separate or blended. Hence Mse, Georgian = Sa-me, 

 Manyak. With regard to the suffixed Zhi, Zi, or Za, clearly = Sa, it would seem as 

 if Mi were the Sun or great fire, of which Mi-sa is the diminutive, just as Sa is the 

 earth, or terrestrial globe, and Sa-ch (cha = sa) earth, soil. See * earth' in sequel.
