The five, rima, is the old primitive way of counting on the fingers. Tahi, rua, toru, wha, ringa!—One, two, three, four, hand! Ringa and rima, (or rather linga and lima) are used in the Malay Archipelago as interchangeable words for hand. Tekau, the Maori ten, is the Greek deka, Welsh deg; and we see the change into the Teutonic form in another Maori word tingahuru, ten. Tekau and tingahuru are merely changes from ng to k, just as the Teutonic form ten changed into Greek deka. In numerals the manner of counting the twenties, thirties, &c., is important: here the Maori is again Aryan, and has one very close English resemblance. The English forty is made from vier, four; tig, ten; viertig, forty, or four tens. The Maori wha, four, tekau ten, wha-tekau forty; viertig and wha-tekau being as perfect in derivation as in sound. Through the kindness of Dr. Hutchinson I am enabled to lay before you a photograph of the statue of Kamehameha, the King of the Sandwich Islands, in his national dress. The resemblance of the whole figure to that of an ancient Greek warrior is most surprising. I must now intreat your patience while I compare the Maori with the European languages. Abbreviations.
