164 THE SUBANU. 
It is quite evident that in its primal stage this was a closed stem 
and the weight of evidence indicates fat. Ordered upon the mutation 
variety of this final consonant the foregoing data show a series in the 
main simple. The only point where the mutation in series seems 
perhaps violent is in the series from hanz to vanz in Melanesia, yet even 
here the difficulty passes when we observe that the mutation is of the 
type which I have already so minutely elaborated, the passage from the 
maximum to the minimum of the possibility of speech effort of a given 
buccal organ. Having established this series the series baz to vai 
through loss of inner n follows as a natural subsidiary. The only forms 
which fail to fit snugly into this devolution series are the Tarfia fauk, 
Marina tati, and the Tihu tak, the last perhaps associable with Marina.
