Dua, two. Duioa , C. 280 the number two. Very likely derived from Ruwa, C. 597, an 

 image, and modified to mean similarity, parity. In many Polynesian languages this 

 •word becomes JR.ua; it is even heard in Javanese in the word Loro , two. Rua is the 

 word for two in the languages of the Lampungs, Makasar, Saparua, Timur; and Le- 

 maire gives it as occurring in New Guinea, and the Isle de Moyse. Wilson and Keate 

 found it in the shape of Oru at the Pelew Islands. Mariner gives Ua for the Tonga 

 Isles , and Ua is heard at the Marquesas , and lua at the Sandwich Isles. Bourgaine-
