It remains only to treat of No. 5, which discusses the origin of the word Zagaie or Sagaie, the Spanish and Portuguese Azagaia, a small kind of Moorish spear which we have named assegai, transferring it to the throwing dart of the Básetu or Káfir race. We have seen (§ 3) that M. Paul Bataillard has fathered upon this term the mysterious racial name _Tsigane_ (Chingáneh), and there is no reason to repeat what has been said of his derivation. We may accept his dictum: “There are words whose history would, if known, throw vivid light upon human migrations and the affinity of peoples in very ancient ages.” But here we find, in lieu of illumination, outer darkness. The comparison of Zagaie, Gæsum, and Gais is bad enough; but it is worse to transport the assegai into South American speech. Demersay, describing the Paraguayan tribe of “Payagas” (the Payagúas or Canoe Indians), calls their lance _Pagaie_, “which,” remarks our author, “may, it appears, be permitted to me to identify with Sagaie.” This is again transcendental etymology applied to ethnic misuse. Pagaie here is simply the popular European, and especially French, corruption of Tacapé or Tangapé, the paddle-club of ironwood sharpened to serve as a sword, and used by all the maritime tribes of Eastern South America. Finally Korik, the bellows, so called by the Gypsies of Asia Minor, is not _Turkish_, but a corruption of the Arabic Kor. Here ends my long notice of M. Paul Bataillard’s four papers; the novelties introduced into them will, it is hoped, be held to justify the prolixity. FOOTNOTES: [106] The following are his advertised works; he kindly supplied me with copies of all, except the first two, which were out of print: 1. _De l’apparition et de la dispersion des Bohémiens en Europe._ Reprinted from the _Bibliothèque de l’École des Chartes_, 1844, in 8vo of 69 pages; and again in 1849 by M. Franck. I understand that in this, his first paper, the author knew the “Zott,” but ignored the “Jats.” 2. _Nouvelles Recherches sur l’apparition des Bohémiens en Europe (particulièrement dans l’Europe Orientale,--avec un appendice sur l’arrivée de dix ou douze mille Louri, Zuth, ou Djatt en Perse entre les années 420 et 440)._ From the same _Bibliothèque_, 1849, in 8vo of 48 pages, a _petit travail_ (as the author calls it) containing his first notice of the Jats. 3. _Les derniers travaux relatifs aux Bohémiens dans l’Europe Orientale._ From the _Revue Critique_, Vol. II. of fifth year (1870-71). Reprinted Paris: Franck, 1872. In treating of the Gypsies the Jats now become an important element. 4. _Notes et questions sur les Bohémiens en Algérie._ From the Bulletin of the _Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, Séance du 17 Juillet_, 1873. Reprinted Paris: A. Henmeyer, 1874.
