G2 ETHNOLOOY OF THE IffT30-PAC!FtC ISLA.VDi. 



Ksme rowela o, • u, in Draririan proper, vo keeping its phxee m 

 the unit in Toda and Telugu, And appearing in all the dinlecta 

 with other forma in 10 and 3^ iu the latter beiwg identical with the^ 

 Kol-Uitraiudian mu. 



2 is bar (bar-i^f, bar-aj). It ia preserved in the Kn and Chong bar; 

 the Biiiiia mar, ^A-mar ; and in the contracted Mon ba, Binua ma, 

 Kasia ar, Kambojan p-iff (uideBS thia be a misapplication of the 

 Kol 3) ; be (or h-e) Simang, hei (or he-f) Anam. The term has N, 

 E. Asian and African affinities. The r element correRponda with 

 the S. Dravirian 2, ira Ac, fara in some forma of 6), The b may 

 bfi the m of 1 repeated, aa in the binary baaia of mme other 

 ijstema, but it may, with much greater probability, be identified 

 with the V of avar, ayara, avam, vnru, " they" (i.e. tlie 3rd pro- 

 nonn followed by the plural definitive, which is glossarially the 

 name m the dual numeral definitive). The Male bar, (alao war, 

 ber) found as the plural poatSx iu the !Jrd pronoun, gives ua the 

 exact form of the Kol term for " two". It may thus have been 

 originally the dual or plural form of tlie lfibi:il defitiiHve which 

 forms the unit, the first two terms of the uumend series being 

 equivalent to **thia'\ and " this dtml,'' or " thia -plural** i-e- these". 

 But the idea of duahty or plumlity may have become attached to 

 the definitive from ita use aa 2, iji which case the application of 

 bar or ar as a plural definitive would be seeondaiy. The Kol dual 

 postfix -ing, -ng, -D, appears to be a variation of ir, er &c. 2, 

 similar to the TJraon en, but preserving i as in several of the 

 B. Dravirian forms, 



3 is op, contraeting to p (bp- iW, p- ia). In Ultraindia it 

 becomes pu-i, pa-i Mou, ba-i Kambojan, ba Anara, wu-i-p Simang 

 (inveraion of pu-i), p-eh Ea, Chong, am-p-i, awt-p-e, a?n-p-et 

 Binua. The term ia a modification of the labial unit of Dravi- 

 rian and Kol ; and the Dravirian 3, mu, mi, has the same root. 



4 is npun, opun, pan, pn, in Ultraindia pun, bun, puan &c, pro- 

 bably a variation of the labio-liquid 2, which occurs with similar 

 variations in other formations, bar, bur, pun &c. This explanation 

 appears preferable to the analysis op-un, up-un, p-on, that ia, the 

 term for 3 followed by a definitive representing 1, identical with 

 the S- Dravirian on, un, 1. The Kol term is different from the 

 South Draririan.
