Note 28 — Chapter VIII · SOME FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS

I subjoin a few additional examples. Basque aita ‘father,’ ama ‘mother,’ anaya ‘brother’ (Zeitsch. f. rom. Phil. 17, 146). Manchu ama ‘father,’ eme ‘mother’ (the vowel relation as in haha ‘man,’ hehe ‘woman,’ Gabelentz, S 389). Kutenai pa· ‘brother’s daughter,’ papa ‘grandmother (said by male), grandfather, grandson,’ pat! ‘nephew,’ ma ‘mother,’ nana ‘younger sister’ (of girl), alnana ‘sisters,’ tite ‘mother-in-law,’ titu ‘father’ (of male)—(Boas, Kutenai Tales, Bureau of Am. Ethnol. 59, 1918). Cf. also Sapir, “Kinship Terms of the Kootenay Indians” (Amer. Anthropologist, vol. 20). In the same writer’s Yana Terms of Relationship (Univ. of California, 1918) there seems to be very little from this source.
