LANGUAGES OF SOUTHERN INDO-CHINA. 11 



Ox, cow : tamov. lemo. imo. romo. I'mu : Malay lembu, in 

 Achinese the same, and also lemo. 



Rain: ha fan. ujon. haiian. van. <, • 



Malay hiijan : but Batak and Javanese udan*, Tagalog 

 and Bisaya olan. Selling k- represents Malay h- in 

 ketam (= hitam), " black " and a few other words. 



Root : in Cham ugha, agha (in accordance with the peculiarity 

 referred to below) : this is not, apparently the Malay 

 akar but itrat, " Sinew." In form it is nearer to the 

 Formosan vgat ; Tagalog and Bisaya ogdt than to any 

 other forms. Batak in this word agrees with Malay. 



In a sub-dialect of Cham of which specimens are given 

 by Morice in an article entitled " Les Tiams et les 

 Stiengs " in the " Revue de Linguistique " Vol. VII, 

 vii, pp. 359-370, r- is often re-placed by g- e.g. agopao 

 (= saribu) a " thousand" : hagaton (= saratus), " a 

 hundred." In Tagalog these words appear as libo and 

 gatos respectively. 



Tongue : in Cham dilah, clalah (both being used) ; approaching 

 nearer to the Tagalog dita, Bisaya dila, than to the 

 Malay and Achinese lidah. Batak also has dila : here, 

 therefore, Cham agrees closely with Batak and the 

 Philippine languages but differs from Malay and Achinese. 



Belly: k tean. teau. kaje'an, k'lan. 



• 7 (tyan. •' 



Bisaya, Iranun and Dusun tian, Sulu tidn. Tian is given 



in some Malay dictionaries as a Javanese loan word 



meaning " belly (of a pregnant woman)." In Achinese 



tifjhi means " foetus," metiyen "to be pregnant "; in 



Cham mwte'an means "pregnancy," boh tean (literally 



" fruit of the belly," Malay buah, Javanese woh, kb fruit") 



means " family." 



Hand : tangin. ten gam. cangan. tangin. lengan. 



Malay tangan, Dusun Idngan, Dusun of Kimanis longon. 



For the Selung U = Malay t-, compare loojoo (= tujoh), 



" seven."
