{Initial t', the common ta particle : 

 git, doubtful. 



Ch suffix, a phase of the diminutive 



particle cha, sa. 

 Sa, the root, is the earth. Sach, 

 earth, soil a little of. 

 f Mi-t, double servile, modified like 



I g^ 



fMi and Mu are indubitable ser- 

 viles, Sa being the root. They 

 serve excellently to show how 

 these particles attach to the 

 roots. The Mi prefix is very 

 common in the Magar tongue, 

 as Mi-rong, Misya-ros, &c. 



C Cha, the root, tallies exactly with 



< Newari. Di, is the common, da 



(. prefix. 



{K' is the ka particle conjunct, as 

 in K'mari, K'li, K'anak, &c. &c. 

 Ha, servile, or a synonymous root. 

 These numerous samples from the 

 Mongolian tongues plainly de- 

 monstrate the root of the Cau- 

 casian words as before remarked 

 in reference to the fire series. 



''Compare Kat-shu, voce hand, and 

 observe that the form is identical 

 in the Caucasian and Mongolian 

 sample (Andi and Pie). We 

 have here the very same com- 

 pound servile (ka-ta), similarly 

 employed (prefix). Such perfect 

 coincidence of all the elements 

 of speech could result only from 

 identity of origin and family 

 unity. 



""The word is radically the same as 

 that for earth, as proved by the 

 Osetic and Wogal terms. The 

 prefix also is the same, and hence 

 a suffix is required to difference 

 the senses. It is thus we learn 

 the real function of the serviles. 

 See note, voce Ego = homo.
