know King Woollo (Adams's King) was dead, as he was reigning 
at the time he left Timbuctoo, Abass probably had a short reign 
like Sai Apokoo the second. This Moor also said that Woollo's 
favourite wife (called by Adams, Fatiraa) was named Eatooma 
Allizato. The editor of Adams shews that the name of Eatima, 
affords in itself no proof that its possessor was Moorish, or even a 
Mohammedan woman. I think it is probably derived from a 
numeral, for it answers to five in the numerals of Garangi (a 
country described to be northwards of Jenne) which are 
One - 
- Kerriminna. 
Two 
Ferriminna. 
Three 
Sowaninna. 
Four 
Fhrima. 
Five 
Fahtiraa. 
Six - 
Tata. 
Seven 
Mannima. 
Eight 
Pirima. 
Nine 
Missirima. 
Ten - 
Guahee. 
Numerals are frequently added to names in Ashantee. 
Perhaps the old ms. which I purchased with difficulty from a 
Jenne Moor, will recompense the translator by a fuller account, 
but I fear religion only is the subject. It contains thirteen pages, 
with some marginal notes in a different hand. I should have 
observed, that, generally speaking, I found the Moors very cautious 
in their accounts, declining to speak unless they were positive, and 
frequently referring doubtful points to others whom they knew to 
be better acquainted with them, I did not succeed in procuring 
the numerals of Timbuctoo, but the language is different from that 
of Houssa, as the words opposed to those recollected by Adanis 
will shew ;
