perhaps, supply such a locality. The same
doubts apply here.

Such are the doubts that apply to an important question in Asiatic
ethnology. I am not, at present, going beyond the simple fact of their
existence. Rightly or wrongly, there is an opinion that the Sanskrit
never was indigenous to any part of India, not even the most
north-western; and there is an extension of this opinion which--rightly
or wrongly--similarly excludes it from Persia. So much doubt should be
relieved by the exhibition of some universally admitted fact as a
set-off.

Such a contrast shall be supplied, in the shape of a comment on the
following tables.[41] It is one of Dr. Trithem's.

ENGLISH. LITHUANIC. RUSSIAN. SANSKRIT.

_Father_ tewas otets pitr.
_Mother_ motina mat' m[=a]tr.
_Son_ sunai suin s[=u]nu.
_Brother_ brolis brat bhratr.
_Sister_ sessu sestra svasr.
_Daughter-in-law_ -- snokha snush[=a].[42]
_Father-in-law_ -- svekor[43] ['s]vasura.
_Mother-in-law_ -- svekrov'[44] ['s]vas ru.
_Brother-in-law_ -- dever'[45] devr.
_One_ wienas odin eka.
_Two_ du dva dv[=a].
_Three_ trys tri tri.
_Four_ keturi chetuire chatv[=a]rah.
_Five_ penki piat' pancha.
_Six_ szessi shest' shash.
_Seven_ septyni sedm' saptan.
_Eight_ asstuoni osm' ashtan.
_Nine_ dewyni deviat' navan.
_Ten_ dessimtis desiat' dasa.

The following similarities go the same way, _viz._, towards the proof of
a remarkable affinity with certain languages of _Europe_, there being
none equally strong with any existing and undoubted Asiatic ones.

ENGLISH. LITHUANIC. SANSKRIT. ZEND.

_I_ ass aham azem.
_Thou_ tu twam t[=u]m.
_Ye_ yus y[=u]yam y[=u]s.
_The_[46] tas ta-_d_ tad.
-- szi sah ho.

LITHUANIC.
