A VOYAGE TO 
hence not fufficiently copious. This was obferved to be the 
cafe, in many inftances, particularly with refpe6t to the 
names of animals. The relation or affinity it may bear to 
other languages, either on this, or on the Aliatic conti¬ 
nent, I have not been able fufficiently to trace, for want of 
proper fpecimens to compare it with, except thofe of the 
Efquimaux, and Indians about Hudfon’s Bay; to neither 
of which it bears the leaft refemblance. On the other 
hand, from the few Mexican words I have been able to 
procure, there is the moft obvious agreement, in the very 
frequent terminations of the words in /, tl> or through¬ 
out the language A” 
The large vocabulary of the Nootka language, collected 
by Mr. Anderfon, ffiall be referved for another place t, as 
its infertion here would too much interrupt our narration. 
At prefent I only felect their numerals, for the fatisfa6tion 
of fuch of our readers as love to compare thofe of different 
nations, in different parts of the world :

One. 
Akkla ,

* May we not, in confirmation of Mr. Anderfon’s remark, obferve, that Opulfzth /, the 
Nootka name of the Sun ; and Vttziputzll , the name of the Mexican Divinity, have no 
very diftant affinity in found ?
