ARABIAN AND PERSIAN ADMIXTURE IN THE INCA LANGUAGE, ETC. 245 
As an example of the first we select : 
Of Samoa. Tofongct, the face or countenance of the king 
or a great chief. 
Of the second : 
Sanskrit Bhong, the brow. 
Suafa, the title of a chief. 
Sani, a local law or custom. 
Arabic Sheer af : Shurafa, nobility. 
Arabic, Sunni, id. 
Of the third : 
Cf. Samoan So’iso’i, the smiles or laughter of a chief. 
Persian Shokhi, jocund, humorous, a chief cheerful, 
mirthful. 
Now we have got over some of the stepping-stones, and have 
made out a pretty good case. 
(1) The Javanese-Malay migration from the north to 
Hawaii, in the extreme north, to Fiji and Samoa in 
the south-west, to Tahiti in the east and Earotonga in 
the south-east. 
(2) Malagasy-Malay in Fiji, Tonga and Samoa. 
(3) Traces of Arab and Persian admixture in Eastern 
Polynesia. 
Is there any other possible element which we have left 
unconsidered ? 
I think there are two others, or possibly three : — 
The Ethiopian or Cushite from Abyssinia. 
The Saboean from Arabia Felix or South Arabia, and 
The Babylonian from the Persian Gulf. 
These do not much affect the main body of our argument, 
i.e., The Indo-Malayan origin of the Inca dynasty, whom the 
Spaniards found reigning in Peru. Doubtless bodies of colonists 
of these three types entered the Pacific, and even got across 
to Peru. I should attribute the giant statues of Easter Island, 
and the Pre-Incarial ruins of Tiu-Huanacu in Bolivia to 
some of these. Then I should be inclined to say that, 
much later, Arabs and Persians reached Peru by way of Tahiti, 
with crews partly Polynesian and possibly with native pilots, 
and built on the foundations which the early Cushites or early 
Sabceans had raised. Then, I think, came the much more recent 
third great migration of Indo-Malays from Java, by way of 
Hawaii and Tahiti, about the time of King John, i.e., 1230, 
and entered into their labours, founding the Inca dynasty 
which the Spaniards found in Peru, about three hundred and 
forty years later.
