a sleeping place. The prefix o le. III Sa-
moa answers this, as moe to sleep. ole
moe nga, sleeping place. Some Of these
prehxes Gin Malay express tie place
where the action is performed some the
agent by whom the action is performed.
SO they do in Samoa. 1t is thus that, in
Malay per differs from ka-and, in Sa-
moa, lie, from faa.


In both languages derivatives are dcriv-
ed from derivatives, and certain deriva-
tves from other derivatives.
ADJECTVEs.


These are not. in either language, sub
jcct to variation of case, gender or num-
Der. They are, in both, connected with
the noun by position only, and, in simple
construction, always follow it. But when
in a corresponding English phrase, the
verb substantive intcrvencs, then the quail
flying word is, in both, made to precede
the noun. Malay, baik orang itu, good
man (person that. Samoan, E lelei ia
mea, good those things.


They may be formed in Malay. by pre-
fixing the particle Der; as Der bulu, fcath-
cred, from bulu feathers. They may, al
SO, be so formed in Samoa, by the prefix
ua, as from !ulu feather, ua fulufuu lea
manu-, that bird is fcathered. So from
lo, an ant, ua lola, is ant-cd; from manu-
a musquito, ua manu- le iale nei, this house
is musquito-ed.


The comparison of adiectives is effect
ed in manner. very similar, by preiiXing
or aliixing words and particles to the pos
tive or by doubling the adjective. But
in some of the examples a prefix in Malay
would be represented by an afiix in Sa-
mOa.


NUMERALS.


In Malay the cardinals are expressed
by the simple word without prefix. 1t is
different in Samoa. The. Malay would
say lima, five; we should say lima, or
(whcn the act of counting is past) ua IL
ma. But to the ordinals each language
has prefix. Malay, ka dua, Samoa, o
lie lua. Malay, ka-sepuuh, the tenth,
Samoa, o lie sefulu. In counting inter-
mediate numbers as from 90 to 80, &C.,

PRoNoUNs.

is used for both singular and plural of the
first person, but its plural use is rare. In
Tonga the first person singular nomin-
ative is also aku, in Samoa, o a'u, with
Il slight guttcral substitute for the k. In
certain cases in Malay it is changed to da-
ku, akan daku, to me ; so in Samoa we
have III te a'u, to me. There are three
other words used in Malay for the first
person, but they are only nouns denoting
servjtude, &C., as we say in English,
''your humble servant OF the Malay
first person plural, kita includes the per-
son addressed, kami includes the person
addressed 1t is well known that tatou
