e.(j. tlie Guaraní po (hand) and pi (foot), and in the initial lettérs, e.g. 
the Quechua, ma-ki (hand) and clia-ki (foot). A comparison of the 
dialects as between kyo or kio (hand, in Choroti) and kive or kue (hand, 
in Vejoz) is equally interesting. The abbreviations of the languages 
frequently referred to are here given for convenience :

13. For our present purpose it is sufficient to note the prevalence 
of p (also h, m, mb, f, w) on the one hand, and of k ( ky , kw, ch) on the 
other as initial consonants. In the second dialect of Choroti (Appen- 
dix A) words like the ordinary Choroti ky-u (horn) lack the ky prefix, 
being simply u (horn). It must bo concludcd, therefore, that the id 
and ky divisions of nouns is a grammatical one of prefixes, and that 
whatever minor diíTerences may exist or persistent usage liave deve- 
loped, the ato and aky are other forms of a, ah, and am of the second 
personal pronoun. The prefixes may and do vary in the numerous 
dialects, bub ib will help u? in this study of word formation and compari- 
son if we treat the initial consonants as originally possessing pro- 
nominal valué.
