f Si servile, is tbe ea particle with 

 \ barmonised vowel. 



f Compare Nam-kha, voce sky. Sin 

 < for si-ni is like Din for Dini, ni 

 L being tbe root. 



Sak, like Nam, is a servile or parti- 

 cule mort ; # not bowever so ut- 

 terly dead, tbat its radical sense 

 of ' sun' cannot be recovered. 



f Shows tbe root again, free of all 

 \ adjuncts, but varied by an aspi- 

 1 rate as Kha for Ka, voce sky, 

 V. Mbe for Me, voce Fire. 



f Means ' sun.' Day, sun and sky 

 \ run into eacb otber perpetually. 



C Compare Nam-kha voce sky : mean 

 \ sun or parent (ma) of day (na) : 

 1 Or, « m' being servile, Na = Ni, 

 V. will be sun vel day. 



Means day and sun. 



Means sun. 



Mean respectively to-morrow and 

 yesterday, evening, tben, and to* 

 day, and are most valuable expo- 

 nents of tbe function of the 

 particles as well as of tbe flexi- 

 bility of tbe roots Nhi, Nhe, Ni 

 being as surely phases of one 

 root as Mhe, Me, Ma, Mi are ; 

 voce Fire. 



"Means morning, from the roots 

 Ma, mother and Ne, day with 

 the articular K suffix, as in 

 Kha-k, sky. The Chinese in like 

 manner name, the day, the sun's 

 son. Or, the prefix ma may 



^ be a servile as in the next word. 



* Observe therefore tbat what is said of the universal vitality of all the parti- 

 cles of these tongues, voce dog, is only true in the comprehensive view of the 

 languages.
