GTHffOLOGY OP THE INDO-PACIPIC ISLANDS. 



5 13 mona, mone, inoi, mo, raima, mun. It ia confined to the 

 Kol and G-ond, the Ultraindian torma being different. The first 

 element of the terui moj mu, has the form of the labial unit found 

 in the Kol and S. Dravirian 3. The second element na^ ne, n, r, 

 may be the South Dravirian 2, ra, r, er, ren, na, 1 &c (in 2, 4 &c) 

 or 1, (as in 3), or a mere postfix or final. The term may thus be 

 ftiinpiy a unitj mo, as in the S, D^a^^riaIl ayBtem, with a consonantal 

 fiual, as in 2 and 3, or a postfixed definitive, as in the S. Pra\-irian 

 3, mn-n* &c, to diatinguiah it from the mo of 1, (comp. the Ho 

 mo-^« or mo-ia 5, and tho Bbumij mo-y or mo-t 1) ; or it may be 

 3, 2, or 4, 1. The analogy of South Dravirian gives some special 

 weight to the firat suggestion, and the foreign affinities aliew that 

 it ia well founded. It results that mun is only a variation of the 

 aame definitive that forms ii, 3 and 2, and of which 1 itself is pro» 

 Inihly a contraction. 



0, tui', turn appears to be of undoubted Ultraindian origin [see 

 App. A to Chap. VI]. 



The remaining terms are clearly Dravirian. They have no 

 Ultraindian affinities. 



7. The Kol term Uke the S, Dravirian appears to be quinary, The 

 Sonthal isir ia evidently the full form and the others contractions, 

 the iya, aya, ia and eia representing the ayi, ya Ac. of the S. 

 Dravirian S, and the final -ir, -r, the r of 2, so that ia-ir or ya-ir 

 is still 5, 2. 



8 is ir-al, ir-l-*« (in Qond, by inveraion, ilh-ar, el-ar-i«). The 

 ii; is the S. Dravirian 2, corresponding with o of the S. Dra- 

 virian 8. The South Dravirian na-1 or n-al 4 ia 2 dual, The 

 Kol ir-al is in form dual and may have been the second 4, but 

 it ia more probable, from the analogy of S. Dravirian, that the 

 element 2 haa reference to 10 and not to 4, that ia, the full term 

 was " 2 from 10*' aa in some of the 8, Dravirian names. The final 

 il, 1, al, may ropreaent 10, for tho Kol 10 has the same final. 



9 ar, ara (ax-eaf ar-*?, nra-dah) has an external resemblance to the 

 S, Drar. 6, ara Mai. (arw, nji &c.), but as there ia nothing to 

 ghew that the term is trinal, and as the adoption of the Slalayalam 

 postfix -m as part of the root would make tho term of much later 

 origin than the other Kol numerals, which muat have been formed 

 before the S. Drav. postfixes cohered with the roots, it may be 

 inferred that the only common particle ia the initial % repreaent-
