Nor is the variation, after passing the teuy of any importance, the principle 

 of both being still the same ; that is, repetition and compounding of the or- 

 dinals, thus ten and one, ten and two, are the forms of expression in both, and 

 so, twice, &c. The Shotii/a word ihampa, postfixed to the decimally increas- 

 ing series, is a mere expletive, and often omitted in speech. The Newari 

 names of the figures from one to ten, as given by Kirkpatrick, are not correct, 

 and hence the difference between the Newari and Bhotiya names has been 

 made to appear greater than it is : in fact, it seems to me, that even the little 

 difference that remains in the present specimens, may be resolved into mere 

 modes of utterance, according to the genius of the two languages. 



Although the following offer no verbal resemblances, the principle on 

 which they are formed presents several analogies.
