South                   Uhm-to, H. Uhm-fasi,

(A Child)               Uhm-toano.
_Negro-land._ (A        Bi-ommo, H.
compound,
apparently, of Ommo
and the previous
word “Biou,” &c.)
South                   Humasoi, H. Umasoi,
America.—_Betoans_      H.
_Negro-land_            Um-ir, H. Mo, H.
Asia.—_Ossetians_       Mo, H.
South                   Me, M.
America.—_Guaramians_
_Negro-land_            Amme, H., Emme, H.
                        Meame, H. Mammoku,
                        M. Mangman, F.

The following are examples of words of this class applied to the Female
Sex:

South                  Ma, F.
America.—_Mobimans_
_Mossans_  (“A         Meme, F.
Mother”)
_Negro-land_           Ma, F.,  Mmi, F.
North                  Hime, F., Himi, F.
Africa.—_Egypt_
Europe.—_Basque_       Emea, F.
Asia.—_Karassians      Ima, F.,  Ime, F.
and Ostiaks_
Europe.—_Fin._         Waimo, F.

Second Modification.

Europe.—_Latin_        Ho-_min_-em, H.
(from Homo)
(Human)                Hu-“_man_”-ûs.
(The Hand)             “_man_”-us.
Asia,—_Sans._ (A       Manus-zia, H.
“Human Being”)
Europe.—_German_       Men-sch, H.
(The same)
(A Man, Vir)           Mann, M.
_English_              Man, M.
_Danish_               Mand, M.
_Negro-land_           Manee, H., Mond, H.,
                       Mundu, H.
South Africa.—_Lagoa   Monhee, H.
Bay_
_Beetjuanas_           Muhn-to, H.
Mon-una, M.
Asia.—_Kurd_           Manno, M.
_Ossetian_             Moine Mo, H.
South                  Mena, M.
America.—_Omaguans_

The following are examples in which the _Second Modification_ and the
transition from the first to the second form of these words are traceable
in words applied to the Female Sex.

Europe.—_Fin._         Waimo, F.
(Woman, as above)
Asia.—_Sanscrit_       Wa-_man_i, F.
Europe.—_English_      Wo-man, F.

The words of this Class may be distinctly traced, in both their previous
modifications, as Pronouns in common use in the principal languages of
Europe and Asia. The value of this evidence will be understood when Horne
Tooke’s principle, that Pronouns are identical with Nouns, is borne in
mind.

1. Pronouns identical with Amme, Emme, Meame, “Man,” above:

Aham, “I,” Mam, “Me,” (_Sanscrit._)
Eme, “Me,” (_Greek._)

2. Pronouns identical with Monhe, Mano, Manee, “Man,” above.

Mon, “I,” (_Ostiak._) Men, I, (_Persian._)
Menik, “I,” (_Belutchee._) Menya, “Me,” (_Russian._)
“Mein,” (_German and English._)

For other examples, see Observations on the Algonquyn Dialects of North
America.
