Now if we allow ourselves to believe that the key to these different pow 
of the word Ibu^ &c. lies in the fact of a word so like it as bithi meaiiing/nW 
(as it does in tho Ediyah), we still have further complication?. Yebu is, 
undoubtedly, the 7tative name of the country from which D’Avezac collecwl

the Senegambiaii languages we find a word aiiuilar to the Ediyah wit^ s 
similar power, i. e. applied to lohite. men.
