"17 Burmese, meaning originally" 

 ( water,' is the root of all the 

 other words, for which see ' Wa- 

 ter.' The metaphorical and now 

 only current sense of the word is 

 even more singular than that of 

 the preceding terms, amongst 

 which the first is determined ana- 

 logically. The literal sense of 

 U is lost in Burmese, like Mi 



^ for man. 



i Ain = na-i, per metastasin. 



r Na, the root, speaks for itself, Vo 

 = bo = be = pe are phases of 

 one and the same servile which 

 = ko, ku. De Coros calls these 

 "articles;" and like all the ser- 

 viles, they often perform the arti- 

 cular function of specification or 

 emphasization. 



r A rich fund of illustration of the 

 serviles, the Na root being un- 

 questionable. My Himalayan 

 Vocabulary afford numerous sam- 

 ples of the pong and tong suffixes 

 which are but pa and ta with the 

 frequent nasal addition. 



{Sha the root t' prefix and r suffix 

 as before in endless examples. 



b final the conjunct form of the ba, 

 bo suffix, so common in Tibetan.
