ERRATA IN THE JOURNAL FOR 1858.

VOL. XXVII.

Page 230, notes, last line for adjective read adjection.

The conclusion of Mr. Hodgson's paper, given in this Vol. having been sent to England for his revision, we are enabled to publish his corrections.

The Editors are glad to find that in this part (the MS. having been legible throughout) there are hardly any errors of importance.

We give the following extract from Mr. Hodgson's letter.

"The errata amount to little more than a perseverance in that titular misnomer whereby comparative vocabularies of the empirical kind were confounded with grammatical treatises. Papers one and two, on the languages of the broken tribes and on the dialectic differences of the language of the Kiranti tribe, were of the former sort. Papers three and four on the Vayu and Bahing, were of the latter sort, and should therefore have been kept apart, as well from each other as from the preceding papers, even though you had determined to throw the descriptive part of Vayu and Bahing to the end of the papers on them. Whereas you have run the whole of the four papers into one, under the style and title of "Comparative Vocabulary of the languages of the broken tribes of Nepal," a designation which is true only in regard to the FIRST of these four papers; for the Kirántis are not one of the broken tribes; nor is there the least affinity between the empirical treatment of the vocabularies of both one and the other and the grammatical analyses which follow, though of the samples of language chosen for this analysis, one belonged to a tribe classed with the broken, and the other to a tribe classed among the septs or clans of the Kirantis.

Therefore I have erased the heading of the part now returned to you (Comparative Vocabulary, &c.) and substituted "grammatical analysis of the Bahing

dialect of the Kiranti language ;" and, for the top of each successive page, "Bahing grammar" in lieu of Bahing Vocabulary."

CORRIGENDA AND ADDENDA

To the papers on the languages of the broken tribes of Nepal, &c. -By B. H. HODGSON, Esq. B. C. S.

[See Journal, Nos. V. and VI. for 1857.]

[We have received from Mr. Hodgson the following list of the corrections and additions which he has found it necessary to make in his papers published in Vol. XXVI. We have already stated in a former number that much of the MS. was left with us in a very rough and illegible state, and in spite of every care, many errors could not but creep in. In fact it was only at Mr. Hodgson's own earnest wish, that we consented to have it printed at all, as we did not consider the MS. in a fit state for publication. We therefore gladly publish the list in full, by way of an appendix to the whole series of communications; for the additions, of course, we are not responsible, as they were not in the original MS.

We may also add that the latter half of the series of papers was fairly legible; and we are gratified to notice that throughout that portion the errors are very trifling. Had all the MS. been in the same condition, we could, with infinitely less trouble to ourselves, have given the whole with equal correctness.-EDS.]

See note at the word ten. 13 add note, Dha is sometimes substituted for, and sometimes superadded to, the major sign or hma, as in Newari, to which tongue the Pahri bears a close resemblance.

Page 333 and onwards, as the heading of the pages for "languages of the broken tribes of Nepal" read "dialects of the Kiránti language.”

Page 333 col. Rodung line 18 add note. In this and the following columns sá prefixed means flesh. It is the segregative and is dropt as usual in composition, thus in column two, pí being cow, pí yúba or pí yúva is cow's horn and not pí sayuba, see on to the word skin.

Page 334 col. Rodung line 6 add note. Literally cow its male its calf. This is the general way of expressing a possessive or genitive: See father and mother and the 3rd possessive pronoun. It will be seen that the latter in its conjunct form is a general prefix to the radical word wherever relationship can be predicated even when a noun stands alone, thus, umpa: father, literally his father, pater illius vel istius. But the prefix is often used when no relationship exists or can be imagined, thus, ú kholen day in column 2nd. In fact it is nearly an inseparable particle.

" for notes + and I read Eukta is the separate form; and so also heusa sumya, &c. chha is for beings, and pop for things, thus eukena mana is one of human kind, eukchha duwachha one man, eukenna menchhachha, one woman; euk pop topti, one hat. Bangpang for the major and pop for the minor is Mikir. Other segregatives were named to me but confusedly, and if they be proper to Kiranti they are fast becoming obsolete.

Rúngchhénbung 1. 10 add note That is, puang, give to me, makes puang chang in dual and puang nang in plural; but pú, give to any, makes pu-chi dual and pu-nin, plural. So Né take from me has chi and nin for dual and plural: but battu take generally has chu for dual and num for

plural.
