Dec.3] SOCIETYOF BIBLICAL ARCHEOLOGY. [1889.supposed by ji; andwe may compareAccadiankiSi, " the hair."
P>utwhat is KiSi, kis? It is, I think, identical withJ^S|US, or
ratherguS,gi§, muttatu, " the hair." (gis, " the male," is also the
hairyor bearded andwhiskered sex). TheChinese suppliesthe
correspondingM-forms,met," the eyebrows " ; mao, " hair."
Another c ('rh) is " two," " the second," " to divide in twain,"
"to duplicate"; and thereare two other homophones, meaning
"a second," "anassistant"; and, "a substitute," "a second," "to
reiterate,""to oppose." Here,again,the dialectic i, ji, ni, carry us
backto gi, mi, or di ; and, as we saw above,Accadian gi or gin is
iani'i,"second,"or "to double," whileAccadianmin,is "two"; and
ga, gi, are " to turn," " return," " answer," " oppose" ; and du-g
(du,Di) is " to speak." Withgi, " second," we may also compare kas
or ga§, find,"two,"andkur, kuS, a)m, "brother"("the other,"
" the second " ; cp. also Chinese, ko = ka, " elder brother"). The
Chineseman," double," is to Accadian min,mina,as the Chinese
tan," single,"is to Accadian tanin aS-tan.
I have alreadycalledattentionto the relation betweenthe first
and second numeralsandthe first and secondpersonalpronouns.
WhatI then saidis borne out by the fact thatI ('rfy, in the three
dialectsi, ji", Z, is the second personalpronouns "thou," "you."
Theinitialsof two formsare lost, and the third pointsto gin, min
(din). Cp. the Accadian ku, "thou,"men,"thou," "you,"dam,
"thou." The same Chinese character has the meanings, "so,"
"thus,"and "abundant";cp. Accadian gin (= dim), ki'dm, "so,"
"thus";g'e,"abundance."Addenda.
