[214] Compare (Klaproth, "Mem. Asiat." ii. 12)--Eng. _ox_; Mongol, char; Hebrew, chor; French, charrue (plough.) Klaproth, ii. 405, "Les cheveux en Thou Khin (whom he identifies with the Turks) portaient le nom de _Sogo_ ou _so_ko; cest le même nom que le Turc sâtch ou sadg." Can it have affinity with Chinese _sa_ (Chinese szu = boeuf sauvage); German, säen; Swedish, _sá_; French, semer; English = to _sou_; Peruvian, sara = maize; also French, _cou_dre, to sow with English corn; Sanscrit, go; High German, chus; Sclavonic, _go_ws (Max Müller, "Chips," ii. 27); and Kashmir and Dongan, gau; Icelandic, ku? In Affghan a bull = _sak_hendar and _souk_handar. In the extinct Tartar Coman (_vide_ Klaproth) ox = _ogus_ or _seger_ = Turkish, okus; Sanscrit, oukcha; German, ochse. Plough = Sanscrit, sinam; Irish, serak; Persian, siar. Horse = _as_p, Persian; _ess_, Sclavonic = English _ass_; and in Chittral on Indus (_vide_ horse or bull used in ceremonies on banks of Indus, _infra_) horse = _astor_. (Has not _tor_ here affinity with _taur_eau.) Corn = _As_lek (Kirghish) and Ashlyk (?) Turkish. Max Müller (Science of Language, p. 231), says--"Aspa was the Persian name for horse, and in the Scythian names, Aspabota, Aspakara, and Asparatha, we can hardly fail to recognise the same element." Also, p. 242, "The comparison of ploughing and sowing is of frequent occurrence in ancient language." Eng., plough; Sclav., ploug = Sanscrit, plava, ship = Gk. [Greek: ploion], ship. "In English dialects, plough is used as a waggon or conveyance. In the Vale of Blackmore, a waggon is called a plough, or plow, and _Zull_ (A.-S., syl) is used for aratrum."--Barnes, "Dorset Dialect," p. 369, ap. Max Müller. The above enumeration does not exhaust the points of resemblance. Compare the following:-- BURTON, ii. 23. "Conspicuous objects on the left of the pavilion were two Ajalela or fetish pots made by the present king (according to the customs.) _Vide_ note 16. Both are lamp black, shaped like amphoræ (amphoræ, for holding wine) about 4 feet high, and planted on tripods. The larger was solid, the smaller callendered with many small holes, and both were decorated with brass and silver crescents, stars, and similar ornaments. The second, when filled _with water and medicine_ allows none to escape, so great is its fetish power; an army guarded by it can never be defeated, and it will lead the way to Absokuta."
