ETHf*OLOQT CP TKK IN'DO-TACIFIC 



There are two terms, both archaic. 



1. Tlie form of the common Draviriiin terra panri, pandi, 

 panjl, panni; pot't^ padi is peculiar. The ultimate root pa has 

 nnmc om foreign affinities, being found by Iti^elf, and with other 

 posifixes in Scythic, Tibeto*Uitratndian, Malagaey-Polynesiati, 

 and African, (See Tibeto -Ultra indian Voc. App. to chap, vi.) 

 If the 71 be part of the base the cloaeet affiniticB are with the 

 Scythico-Iranian ba^e, par, por &c of por-<?#, por-ft, par-# &c. 

 • 2. The anc. Tamil kezha^, Male and Uraon kis is Circassian 

 knshha. In Asonesia it occurs in the Batan kuig. The root m an 

 archaic me, widely applied to dog *' (aJso to the "cat", *'cow", 

 *' horfe.") The Kol aukri is Sanakritic. 



GOAT; BHEBP., 



Many of the vocabularies to which I have aece^ do not contaiii 

 these terms. All the Dravirian vocables for " goat " are also 

 used for cow", " buffalo " &c in other families of language- 

 The most common is Cauoaso- African, and Iranian.* 



BUFTALQ, 



The ancient Tamil aud Vindyan terin is excluBtvely Indian^ 

 UUraindian and ludoneeian, and the probability thej-efore is that 

 the native wild buffaloe of India was originally domesticated by 

 the Dravirians themselves and then diffused to the eastward. The 

 same root however occurs in other languages applied to the **cow," 

 and it would thus appear to be of Scythic or at least S, W, Asian 

 derivation. The current Brnvinan term has Chinese, UUraindian 

 and, as applied to the " cow", Scythic, Sclavonicj and African 

 affinities- It is probable that both terms were used for "cow" 

 before the Dravirlans applied them to the huSulo. 



1. kara^ Tamil anc, [karat'ttt "a milch cow"], karu Karn , 

 Tod. '* a young buffalo/' hal«ya Gond, kara, kera Kol. The 

 Term, like many others, has spread fiom the Kol (or an ancient 

 Lower Gangetic language) to Ultraindia. It h found in the 

 Kambojiin family joined with a common root for " Cow*', Kar- 

 bu Kambojan, kar-pu Ka, ka-pao Chong. From Ulti-aindia it 

 has spread to Western Indonesian (karabau, karhau, kabu, ka- 

 rambau, karbu, kapa, kawa, &c. &c.) thus indicating the country 



• Math, "goat/'Bnihui.
