As in the case of tama (item 79) the Klemantan preserves for us in 
Indonesia the initial t. Although some of the details are obscure, the 
general range of the variants is not difficult to follow. ‘This vocable 
also is Proto-Samoan.

tinae Samoa, Futuna, Mangareva. | tinai Mota. 
In Polynesia this rare word is found but at three points. Its 
occurrence at Mota, central in respect of the Melanesian area, suggests 
that when more complete vocabularies come within our reach we may 
be able to trace it elsewhere in that intermediary region. I can not 
refrain from a note that tznae of the Polynesian suggests an infix in 
this solitary instance, one which we can not parallel in that extended 
family. Thisisamere suggestion. Ifit were accepted it would be the 
sole evidence that the Malayans have exerted any influence upon the 
Polynesian. The infixature will appear as t:7m: ae and refers in form 
and in sense to zae, item 75.
