 Kuga si —and ii) t)ie Yiiiiisi frr. nhya, aha, cha, si, tj*i. It ia prububle that 

 the Abor-Xagti broud form wan received into thr» eant G an jre tic vocabu- 

 lary from one of theenrlier 8ifnn ^itreamrt, and th^ Abor-Ytimn from one 

 of the later, after the slondtr jthunology prevailed iuea«t Tibet, 



It is dear that the .'^ibihititt? us^ed for the Otmt and Gnu in the Himahic 

 g'lo.ssary are fonufl of one root. The SHme variations are applied to both 

 aniraaln, shn, (witlj the varijitioiis zyu^ fso, tdo, tdio for and sti, 



thu. hiif tsof teho, sou, rhuk, chu, for* C*tn})j cha, pha, sa, (also for 0**w 

 ja, sbii, shyn, zhya, and for (iiutt t hanp, tsidi); for Gout the slender ti«]ii, 

 chbi, chhe, dse^ i?he, rlihen^r nnd for Ctm? sii^isi, shye. 



The two animul'* were therefore r^eferred to the same species in the 

 primary Iliniahite zoology, «nd they were probably distiiig'uished either 

 W the formM of tbo aex r|nalitives or by tejifirate attriljxitiveH^ tb-scriptive 

 of iiizej colour or other distinctive qualitief*, a.s in several of the Chinese 

 names of aniraaU. In the g-radual concretion of the glo63»ry in each 

 dialect, each variety of tlie root wonld become i\ sul^tawtive name, ren- 

 dering fjualilivt'H nnd defioifives .supcrfluout* ; and in like moimer, varieties 

 in tho qnalitivesi and d^'IinitiveSj on acquiring nn indej^eiident ynl^atantive 

 meanin^r, would rt'iuler the older siihi^tantive roots m the compound re- 

 dundant and fometiiiies casit them off. For example in Uhotiaii the ra 

 form of the m«t.c. qualitive, niuy have Income diatiuctive of the Gotit, and 

 the lauy form of the Ct//v ; and when the sibibmt substantive name itself 

 took the two iudoji'eiuk'nt forma ehang: Croat and cliuk €(}W} distinctions 

 in the qiiahtivci were no longer neces.siry. In the late.^t ^tnge of concre- 

 tion and metinnor[iho&is all these forms, chaug, chuk, lan^, have ao 

 quired dintinct substantive applications. 



Tbe Mfndpurejm torn appears to be a local modifictition ofthe sibilo- 

 palatal root, from (he form tbu, Anj.'-arai tcho (Lungke) Sec. found in ad- 

 jiicent dialects. The same variety is used for the Elephant in Mishmi 

 fto-tou. *" 



Hie Ultraindo-Ganpetic names for tliR Caw and Bull of Chines* de- 

 riviition iijtpearto have been first acquired by the Lau tribe, and to have 

 been communicated by them to a. few of the other vocabulariesj when they 

 i^preud to tbe weat and south.
