"_Ia Rau_ is used to express _all_ in the Marquesas Isles. _Rau_ signifies _leaves_, so that the term implies something as numerous as the leaves of a tree. _Rau_ is also now used for _sound_, an expression which includes in itself the conception of _all_, but which originally signified a fact, a real and concrete phenomenon, and it was felt as such in the ancient speech in which it was used in this sense. So again in Tahiti _huru_, _ten_, originally signified _hairs_; _rima_, _five_, was at first used for _hand_; _riri_, _anger_, literally means _he shouts_. _Uku_ in the Marquesas Isles means _to lower the head_, and is now used for _to enter a house_. _Kùku_, which had the same original name in New Zealand, now expresses the act of diving. The Polynesian word _toro_ at first indicated anything in the position of a hand with extended fingers, whence comes the Tahitian term for ox, _puaátoro_, _stretching pig_, in allusion to the way in which an ox carries his head. _Toó_ (Marquesas), to put forward the hand, is now used for _to take_. _Tongo_ (Marquesas), to grope with extended arms, leads to _protongo tongo_, _darkness_. In New Zealand, _wairua_, in Tahiti _varua_, signifies soul or spirit, from _vai_, to remain in a recumbent position, and _rua_, two; that is _to be in two places_, since they believed that in sickness or in dreams the soul left the body.[42] Throughout Polynesia, _moe_ signifies a recumbent position or to sleep, and in Tahiti _moe pipiti_ signifies a double sleep or dream, from _moe_, to sleep, and _piti_, two. In New Zealand, _moenaku_ means to try to grasp something during sleep; from _naku_, to take in the fingers. "We can understand something of the mysterious exercise of human intelligence in its earliest development from this habit of symbolizing and presenting in an outward form an abstract conception, thus giving a concrete meaning and material expression to the external fact. We see how everything assumed a concrete, living form, and can better understand the conditions we have established as necessary in the early days of the development of human life. This attitude of the intelligence had been often stated before, but in an incomplete way; the primitive and subsequent myths have been confounded together;" [See ante, p.p. 44, et seq., et 116.] "and it has been supposed that myth was of exclusively human origin, whereas it has its roots lower down in the vast animal kingdom. * * * * * "Anthropomorphism, and the personification of the things and phenomena of nature, and their images and specific types, were the great source whence issued superstitions, mythologies, and religions, and, also, as we shall presently see, the scientific errors to be found among all the families of the human race.
