Karn. minu are lut furtber TariattoDB^ similar to those which the 

 root has in the North Gangetic lunguages, mil. "silver" Milch. 

 The Sanskrit chantl and Malay ii -Polynesian sina are applied in 

 the sanifi way, the former being " silver" and " moon", and the 

 latter " white", " radiant", moon.^' 



From the preservation of the root with its primary meaning and 

 it^ reappearance in llie Draviro- Australian family in various 

 names and in variousi forms, it must be considered as belonging to 

 the glcesarial basis of the family and having its closest archaic 

 affinity with the Ugrian wal, wel which in Dmvirian are best 

 represented by the forms val, bal ; vel, pel &c. Some of the rarer 

 Semitico-African metalic terms bave the same broad archaic forms 

 and they are also Kaiuschatkan. Tlje i forms are variations of 

 those in e, and their prevalence both in Dravinan and Semitic 

 appears to show a secondary and direct connection. The Dra? i- 

 rian terms for silver" are applications of the native root for 

 " white Were the Semitic derivatives from the Dravirian 7
