132 THE SUBANU. 
significance of the Igorot, as in many instances it is the particular 
significance of the Subanu itself, is that it is an interior language in 
this region in which we find the archetype not only of Malayan speech 
but of its early accumulations from the Polynesian ancestors whom it 
was dislodging. Accordingly, when we are enabled to pass through the 
coastal settlement of the later Malayan swarms in the Philippines and 
may find in the languages of the earlier migrants who have been driven 
back into the mountains word forms identifiable with those which we 
find in Nuclear Polynesia, we are justified in establishing them as of 
the earliest Polynesian type. 
50. manifis thin; Subanu monepes id. P. W. 298. 
nipis Malay. 
manipis Visayan. 
monepes Subanu. 
manifi Malagasy. 
These are all clear identification, all of the conditional type except 
that in Malay we have the primitive stem, which reappears at Roro in 
Torres Strait in the form uzviniv1. 
51. malino calm; Subanu linao id.

melino Tonga. malinao Bicol. 
merino Mangareva. marina Malagasy. 
milino Niué. marne Formosa. 
manino Samoa, Tahiti. maino Motu. 
menino Marquesas. 
Disregarding the simple varieties in the Polynesian course of the 
vocable we establish a conditional type with the primitive plainly appa- 
rent in the three Philippine languages.

The final palatal mute is so widely established athwart Indonesia 
in languages of varying type that we must regard it as proper to the 
stem; in Melanesia it reappears at such distant stations as Carteret 
Harbor in New Ireland (manuk) and Tanna (manug). In Polynesia 
the word has seldom deviated far or completely from the signification 
of animals in general; throughout Indonesia it is particularized upon 
the bird sense, and in Bontoc Igorot it designates a chicken only. We 
note as a resemblance Sanskrit manukh, manush a living creature.
