as u-wo. ‘The mutation u—o is found in its simple form in 44-46, 49, 
and 51, and in the u-wo form, as already noted, in 38-39; with this 
I include u-uwa in 40 manuwa and 41 manuwan as a second step in 
recession toward the central vowel, and this mutation u-a finds support 
in the Melanesian forms 4-6. ‘The mutation u-i is found in its simple 
form in 47 mani and 48 manik, with the support of Melanesian 17-18 
mani and 16 mane; the u—wi form appears in 37 manui found in Melanesia 
(7) and in 36 manue.

In the preceding consideration of this vocable I have made it clear 
that the immediate source for Polynesia is Fiji; therefore we are unable 
to settle if this be Polynesian stock or accumulation from Melanesia. 
In general, however, it is fair to assume that any word of such wide 
extent must have Polynesian origin, for this race was the great migrant 
race of the Pacific, and the Melanesians seem to have moved but little 
since their first appearance in the islands of the western Pacific, a 
beginning as to which we are wholly without details. If kulo were of 
Melanesian source, as suggested by its occurence in Fiji, we should 
find it impossible to explain how it could have worked backward against 
the movement of migration and have obtained so wide an extent in 
Indonesia. ‘Taking all the factors into consideration, it seems safe 
to assume the stem to have been Polynesian speech during the resi- 
dence of that people in the Malay seas, to have been carried down 
through the Melanesian traverse, and to have dropped out of modern 
Polynesian use only by reason of the absence in those newer masses
