[191] Mr Max Müller, in his "Lectures on the Science of Language," first series, says of "Man":--"The Latin word 'homo,' the French 'l'homme' ... is derived from the same root, which we have in 'humus,' soil, 'humilis,' humble. Homo, therefore, would express the idea of being made of the dust of the earth.... There is a third name for man.... 'Ma,' in the Sanscrit, means to measure.... 'Man,' a derivative root, means to think. From this we have the Sanscrit 'Manu,' originally thinker, then man. In the later Sanscrit we find derivations such as 'Mânava, Mânasha, Manushya,' all expressing man. In Gothic we find both '_man_,' and 'Maunisk,' the modern German 'maun,' and 'mensch.' There were many more names for man, as there were many names for all things in ancient language." As an instance of the correspondence of Old Egyptian and Welsh, Bunsen's "Philosophy of Univ. Hist.," i. 169, gives "Egyptian, 'man' = rockstone; Welsh, 'maen;' Irish, 'main' (coll. Latin, 'moenia;' Hebrew, 'e-ben')." And (p. 78) Bunsen says--"The divine Mannus, the ancestor of the Germans, _is absolutely identical_ with Manus, who, according to ancient Indian mythology, is the God who created man anew after the Deluge, _just as Deucalion did_." [192] The _Saturday Review_, Nov. 14, 1868 (reviewing "The Indian Tribes of Guiana," by the Rev. W. Brett), says of the Indian traditions:--"The 'old people's stories' of the creation and the deluge are highly characteristic.... Under the rule of Sigu, son of Maikonaima, the tree of life was planted, in whose stem were pent up the whole of the waters which were to be let forth by measure to stock every river and lake with fish. Twarrika, the mischievous monkey, forced open the magic cover which kept down the waters, and the next minute was swept away with _all things living_ by the bursting flood. _The re-peopling_ of the world, as described by the Tamanacs of the Orinoco _recalls the legend of Deucalion_. One man and one woman took refuge on the mountain Tama_nacu_. _They then threw over their heads_ the fruits of the Mauritia (or Ita) palm, from the _kernel_ of which sprang men and women who once more peopled the earth."
