from Pangkumu may be given in illustration. Coro is ‘to open 
the eyes and look for’ (Nguna leogoro); bunsi (Nguna, etc., punusi, 
Florida of Solomon Is. buguti) is ‘to look at,’ e.g. a ship, a picture; 
nunuri, ‘to stare, gaze at, as in reading a book. The Mota is zlo 
nurnur, ‘to look carefully.’ Rag‘arag‘, ‘to be present at’ and there- 
fore ‘see’, as a dance, a person’s house. The word kite, which is 
Maori, is seen in Aneityum ecet, Tanna ata, eru, Tangoa kite, 
Arag g‘ita, Maewo ete, Aniwa cit1, Mae kute. Marina Kile is the 
common word for ‘ know.’ 
[The Aneityumese alum, ‘to look at,’ and ecet, ‘to see,’ ucni, 
‘to burn,’ show that the rts. in this column are the same as in alo, 
kan, ma of Notes 1 and 61 /qq.v.); see also ‘know,’ No. 85. ] 
83. H+ar—The word rogo is very widely distributed in Oceania, 
and in its simplest form means ‘to feel a sensation,’ as pain or a 
noise. When meaning ‘to hear,’ it often takes a suffixed transitive 
termination, as in Ambrym 7og-ta, Omba rorog-tagi, Mota rogo-tag, 
Samoa logo-na. The Aneityum ahget, Tanna aregi, Eromanga 
rigt, Lifu dege, are all forms of rogo. In the Weasisi ate-telzg, telig 
is the word common for ‘ear,’ and ate, no doubt, means ‘to turn’; 
in Mota ate is ‘to turn to,’ ate-nagot, ‘to turn the face to.’ 
[See ‘ear.’ Malay is dangar, ‘to hear,’ cognate to logo, rogo. | 
84. Speak, Say, Tell—It is by no means certain that all the 
words here given are exactly synonymous. The Fiji vosa is seen 
in Tasiwo, Efate, etc., and in Futuna and Aniwa visa, fasa, Lifu 
whadha, and Ambryin fie. Vosa is also in Malo the word for ‘know.’ 
We have vet in Mota, Maewo, Santo, Malo, and Epi, in Makura 
mbetog, and Tanna ani is Lifu dni, ‘to say.’ Malo soraisin Pang- 
kumu sur, but is there only used in compounds, as sori-menemen 
‘speak kindly,’ sur-papagis, ‘speak angrily,’ etc. Mai and Fiji 
muna is Samoan muna, ‘to grumble.’ 
[Some of these words have an extraordinary resemblance to 
Sk. vad, ‘speak,’ Latin fat-us. Cf. also Malay bhasa, Pali bhasa, 
‘speech,’ Dr. pesu, ‘to speak,’ Sk. bhdsh, ‘to speak.’ |
