_Tabara_ in Turan. _Burutis_ in Ausonian. _Aborian_, _Abeirgon_ Pelagic. _Boor_, _Bura_ Frisic. _Ambactos_ in Gaul. _Manahunis_ in Tahiti. _Nerba_ Hindostani. _Bendar_ Pehlvi. _Abondas_ Saxon. _Canabas_, Knave Gothic. _Nebara_ Nepal. _Parias_ India. 77 It is remarkable that the primitive notions of the Haytians about ghosts &c. prevail yet among the Negroes of the Antilles. The _Obiah_ or sortilege, and _Dupin_ ghosts, of Jamaica &c., appear to have survived. If introduced lately by the African Negroes, it is strange they should be similar to the Haytian names of old. 78 The two brothers became gods of good and evil, as their names indicate—_Gua-tauva_ implies _such goodness_: while _Pregonero_ is the devil of Cumana, under the names of _Proruru_ or _Proguro_. 79 These priests drest in white as in Central America, and the Druids; are primitive Lybian or Druidic priests and Pelagic Bramins. Their name is found in _Hubantes_ in Pelagic. _Faybo_ of the Guanches. _Vates_ Ausonian and Gaul. _Aobu_ in Aramic. _Behotus_ Dorian. _Bedo_ old French. _Phonto_ in Egypt. _Purohito_ in Sanscrit. _Budan_ in Pelvi. _Budha_ of Budhists. _Baharas_ Nepal. _Heotes_ Sicanian &c. 80 The Caribs went nearly naked; when the Spaniards came with clothes and guns the prophecy was explained. _Cochio_ for dress and mantle has affinities with many ancient languages, _Gonachen_ in Iran, _Ahico_ of Guanches, _Poncho_ of Peru and Chili, _Cachaca_ of Gauls, _Cochaya_ of Slavonians, _Cota_ in Celtic &c.: whence our coat. 81 This is the most plausible account of Caonabo; but he perhaps was a Maya and not a Carib: his name is not Carib, but Haytian, meaning _gold of the house_. Anacaona would hardly have married a Carib? I have attempted to put probable dates to these retrospective events, loosely mentioned by Dangleria and the Spanish writers. 82 The intercourse between Cuba, Florida and the Lucayas was frequent. Dangleria says the Lucayas were a happy people, with beautiful women, for whose sake many Cubans and Floridans came to live there. 83 It will be proper to recapitulate here the ancient nations and tribes of the Antilles, mentioned in these traditions and annals; adding to each some well-known modern nations of the continent, bearing nearly the same name, and most probably descended from them: unless it is preferred to consider them as ancestors rather than posterity, a very improbable fact. Meantime we acquire thereby a new clue to American annals and ethnology: since nearly all the nations of America may be connected with those by other links of languages, traditions &c.
