History of Mankind. 
That the vocabulary of Captain Allen and Dr. Thomson 
represents a slightly different dialect of the same language is 
evident from the following table.

And here it may be observed, that the Fishman word for sun 
(waih)j although different from the Kru and Bassa {(/uiro, iuro)j 
is exactly the same as the following : — 
English 
sun. 
Tapua 
ehi. 
Ashanti 
ouia. 
Popo 
onei. 
Fanti 
euia. 
Ibii 
aua. 
and probably the same as the Bongo word veia = fire. 
The substantial correctness of the three vocabularies is ensured 
by such a comparison of the previous onej a comparison which, 
nevertheless, still leaves the probability of certain accidental and 
unavoidable errors in detail. Thus, in Mrs. Kilhain s voca- 
Kura=fielcl ; Kru of Kilham.
