63. Tooth—The word liwo is found as livo, libu, lowo, ribo, juvo, 
jua, elfo, reve. The same has already been noticed in Arag and 
Omba as ‘arrow.’ In Efate, Santo, and Fiji pati is also ‘spike.’ 
Udu and uju of Malo and Santo are udu, ‘nose,’ in New Guinea 
(Motu), and may probably be referred to the common gusw, ‘nose.’ 
Cf. Mel. Lang. p. 94. 
64. Nose—The three Southern Languages have different words. 
Gusu or gisu is the only word at all common elsewhere. In Fiji, 
gusu is ‘mouth’; gusu is in Mota, ‘lip.’ Of. Wel. Lang. p. 85. The 
Malo bona is probably ‘his smeller,’ 60 being a common word for 
‘smell’ and na the suffixed possessive pronoun. Omba gembwanog‘t 
is ‘nostril.’ 
65. Tongue—The Northern languages have mea or, reduplicated, 
meme, the others mena. The Baki prefix buru is ‘lump. A 
similar meaning may attach to other prefixes. The Eromanga Jua, 
Maewo Jue, Aulua Je may be compared with Efate and Mota 
adverbs lua, lue, ‘out.’ Cf. Mel. Lang. p. 94. 
66. Belly—There is little agreement in the words for ‘belly,’ 
though Malekula tamba, damba, which is probably the Mota word 
tokpwe, is found in three of the Northern languages. The word 
tana, ‘bowels’ is however in very general use. The Fiji kete is ‘bag,’ 
z.e., ‘stomach.’ Maori kopy is used in Sesake for ‘inside of house.’ 
_Efate mbwele is perhaps Duke of York Island (New Britain) bala, 
Santa Cruz bole. Itis worth notice that tina and pwile (i.e., bele) 
are also used for ‘mother.’ Cf. Mel. Lang. p. 55. 
67. Hand—Lima is the usual Oceanic word. In Tanna raga 
and Aneityum zkma are probably the extreme forms. The Male- 
kula ver, fera, vari, Ambrym vera, are the Mota ta-veraz, ‘the palm 
of the hand.’ Eromanga kobe, Marina g‘ave, is probably the ‘hand’ 
stretched out. In Mota g‘ave is a kind of crab, Nogogu ave 
‘wing,’ Efate man kabe, ‘pigeon,’ winged animal. Cf. Mel. Lang. 
p. 73. 
[‘Finger’ is from Ger. fangen, ‘to seize hold, and hand I take 
from A.-S. hadd, ‘to hold’; a Sk, rt. gam, gab, is ‘to hold,’ usually
