5. The Tibberkad ahang, shung [Litiibu slmng-wa, Kironti 

 saii-wa, "biiiFaloe"] may perhaps be added to reuilm' complete tlie 

 evidence of a Ugdaii derivation of terms. Sainoiede tscbuiit/t',

 imaL is probably local, as in ran^. If so the term bIiu, nhn, 

 may be derived from the Cimcaso-Arian and Caucaso-Semitic *hu,

 appears aa a root in the Latin asinw^ "ass", and wiiijout the defi- 

 nitive in the Celtic asyn, os^n, further oonti-acted in tliej English 

 ass to the primary root The Tibberkad, like the Semitico-Afri- 

 can forms!, would appear to be more immediately connected with 

 those of the Leagian vocabulary (shii &c) which also euppHeJ the 

 South Di*avirian kadu. It will be remarked that the Ii-ano-Sans- 

 kritic form of the root aih, as, resembles tlie Gara ha^ (=a9, tlie 

 Gara strongly aspirating initial a). The final aa, s, hn, h, of the 

 Semitic faras &c. may possibly be this I'oot and not merely the 

 definitive. In Scylhic the root is rnre. It perhapH oecura in ilie 

 Wolga and Turkish ata-«ha, Turkish io-sha ; and the Turkif^h at, 

 ut, Tibetan ta, tha, tab, Dravirian tatn have probably the same 

 root under a different form. 



The primary application of this root appears to have been to the
