WU-lai-ya (foreigner) are the same word (compare Chap. XVI, 
seo. CH and the word for chief). 
Tilia principie (applied to ñames of birds, animáis, and inani- 
mate things) is of tremendovis moment, and at once explains the 
variety of initial syllables (and, ipso fado, the final syllables). 
Every tree, bird, animal, and household utensil has borne (or still 
bears) a conjunctive prononn of possession or relation. The 
Guaraní word cha-ha, or sha-ha (turlcey-buzzard), is the same 
word as the Vejoz and Choroti sa-hak, and the Suhin ta-a or the 
Toba ta-kak ; and the Quechua pu-ma corresponds to the Lengua- 
Mascoy me-ioa (the lion), both of which words play an interest- 
ing part in Indian mythology. Some of these words are fairly 
obvious but otliers are mu oh more difficult to trace. 
Q. ki-lla (or ki-lya) ; Ch. wee-la ; V. we-la ; S. we-kla , moon. 
Q. su-lla (or su-lya) ; L.-M. ya-lya ; T. a-lo-ñi, dew, frost. 
Q. all-pa ; L.-M. yith-pa (or yil-pa) ; thla-pup ; T. al-iva, 
earth, soil, clay. 
Comparo the diíTorcnt prefixos in tho following words : 
L.-M. pe-yim, bee ; pi-yim, lizard ; nai-yim, ant-bear ; 
T. wo-yim, monkey. 
Ke, ki, ku. These partióles are applied to verbs also, in the first instance 
to shew relation, then various modifications of meanings, causa- 
tive, frequentative, etc. Thus from the idea of “ from above 
downwards,” we liave : aj-ne, to lower ; toj-ni, drip, léale from 
roof ; ej-ne, empty out ; oj-na, laj-na, ti-ki-na-ha, unfold, open out, 
display, expose ; kij-ne, koj-ni, ti-ki-na-ha K spread out on ground. 
From the root vía (to hokl, grip, take, etc.) is formed ki-ma (liold, 
etc.), and witli addition of partióles ki-mkiyi, catch ; ki-mkiwoi, 
raise ; ki-jme, work ; ki-met, a possession ; ki-manik, servant, etc. 
A ki noun is sometimos taken boldly and preíixed to a verb to 
form another as, e.g. kio, hand ; kio-fua-ki, grind ; kio-fua-ne, 
pound ; kio-fva-te, press ; kio-lano-ivata, loosen a rope, let liand go. 
From too, the ñecle, that which encircles, we derive fuo-po, 
arm ; fuop, around ; inu-fuop, to be around ; ake-fuop, embrace. 
From wo or wo-ma, to plant, we derive kiak-ioone , to bury, 
giving the word a special (perhaps family or rational) significance, 
as with the word thle, a ñame ; lempa tille ? what is the ñame of % 
kiak-thle Manuel, his ñame is Manuel. 
N.B . — Many of the nouns with the ke, ki or ku prefix are con- 
nected with the family relationships or the ñames of the parts of 
the body, both of which series rank very high in Indian parlance : 
the verbs likewise are intimately connected with the family.
