84. THE SUBANU. 
The most frequent mutation of the sibilant in the greater number 
of languages is to the aspiration; therefore it is noteworthy that we find 
but one trace in the Visayan-Subanu, namely tocsocan-tohogan. 
The instances in which § is present in one language and absent in 
the other number five.

The first and most casual inspection of the vocabulary makes mani- 
fest mutation variety in the mutes so great and seemingly so intricate 
that it will be necessary to subject these ultimate consonants to a more 
minute classification in subdivision than the earlier consonants have 
called for. Following the natural evolutionary order we shall first con- 
sider the palatal mutes and in this pair the surd will first engage our 
attention. It will be well to order the instances in accordance with 
their position as initial, medial, and final.
