_Three_=_sami_, Georgian; _dschumi_, Lazic; _tre_, Sanskrit; τρία, Greek; _tres_, Latin; _three_, English, &c. Here _t_ becomes _s_, _r_ is ejected, and _m_ is added, upon the assumption of _reflected ordinal_.[39] _Four_=_wors`tcho_, Suanic. A transposition of _tchowors_=the Sanskrit _ćatvâras_.--Here, remember the Gothic and Welsh forms, _fidvôr_, and _pedwar_, respectively. _Five_=_wochus`i_, Suanic. The _wo-_ of this form is the _pa-_ of the Sanskrit _pa-nća_, whilst the _-chu-_ is the _ća_ of the same word. The _-t-_ is the _t_ of the Slavonic forms, _fya-tj_=five; _ses-tj_=six; _devja-ti_=nine, and _desja-ti_=ten. _Six_=_ekhwssi_, Georgian=_sas_, Sanskrit; _csvas_, Zend; _achses_, Trôn. _Seven_=_swidi_, Georgian. A transposition of _siwdi_=_supta_, Sanskrit; _septem_, Latin; ἕπτα, Greek, &c. It is stated of the numbers _six_ and _seven_ that "their Indo-European origin is preeminently capable of proof." _Eight_=_rwa_, _ruo_, &c.=_as`ta_, Sanskrit. Here the _s_ is lost, as in Hindostani, and Bengali, _ât`_, and _ât_; _t_ becomes _d_; and _d_ is changed to _r_. The numeral _nine_ is let alone. _Ten_=_jest_, Suanic=_das`a_, Sanskrit. I do not say that there may not be letter-changes which make all this feasible. There may or may not be. I only lay before critics, the amount of change assumed. In 1845, I announced, at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, that the closest philological affinity of the Dioscurian languages was with the Aptotic ones. This I had brought myself to believe from a comparison of the _words_ only. Soon afterwards, Mr. Norriss, of the Asiatic Society, instead of expressing surprise at my doctrine, said that, upon _grammatical_ grounds, he held the same opinion. How far these views are founded on fact, may be seen from the forthcoming samples of two Dioscurian grammars, and of a short Dioscurian vocabulary, compared with those of the Seriform tongues. The two together form but a small fraction of the evidence that can be adduced. It is as much, however, as is admissible in a work like the present. Physiological objections, based upon the symmetry of shape, and delicacy of complexion, on the part of the Georgians and Circassians, I am, at present, unable to meet. I can only indicate our want of osteological data, and remind my reader of the peculiar climatologic conditions of the Caucasian range; which is at once temperate, mountainous, wooded, and in the neighbourhood of the sea--in other words, the reverse of all Mongol areas hitherto enumerated. Perhaps, too, I may limit the extent of such objections _as a matter of fact_. It is only amongst the chiefs where the personal beauty of the male portion of the population is at all remarkable. The tillers of the soil are, comparatively speaking, coarse and unshapely. GEORGIANS. _Divisions._--1. Eastern Georgians. 2. Western Georgians. 3. South-western Georgians. 4. Northern Georgians.
