Except for the Maori and Mangaian I should consider this stem as 
of the Proto-Samoan stock. ‘There are instances in which we admit 
stems of this older migration in the Maori, but Mangaia is commonly 
attributed to the distinctively Tongafiti; however, the stem is absent 
from the other Tongafiti Polynesian.

This is a most interesting case of a purely Proto-Samoan stem dis- 
covered in the archetypal Malayan region. In the Visayan we find a 
secondary form showing that after the stem had been taken on loan it 
had been subjected to the Malayan régime in forming derivatives; it 
is easy to discover the stem pili when we set aside, in p:in:ilizan, the 
infix and accompanying suffix.

In the absence of a wider Indonesian series this Visayan is included 
for reference only, since it is by no means certain that it stems with fohe. 
In that direction pointsits bo. If next we seek in g a mutation product 
of h, we find that it would be objectionable, though not impossible, as a 
mutation extra seriem, for the dh of Viti shows the stem h to be aspira- 
tion proximate to the lingual series. Assuming this mutation, however, 
we are at a loss to account for say. If it were not for g we should see 
the affiliation of bo(g)say with fohe; the intrusion of the g lies at present 
beyond our comprehension.

This is an interesting Proto-Samoan vocable of narrow limits. In 
the other languages of the two oceanic areas this stem seems to have 
been lost in fua, which is probably of kin. Itis quite clear (The Poly- 
nesian Wanderings, 426) that the latter was originally fuan; recalling 
the frequency of syllable inversion, it is quite possible that an original
