... the root ta through its
long series of known combinations carries a strongly
featured sense of action that is peripheral,
centrifugal, and there seems to be at least a suspicion
of the further connotation that the action is exerted
downward ... The secondary sense of cutting will easily
be seen to be a striking with a specialized implement,
and we find this sense stated without recognition of the
primal striking sense only in Mangareva, Nukuoro, Viti,
and Malekula. In Indonesia this secondary sense is
predominant, although Malagasy ta may come
somewhat close to the striking idea ... Churchill 2. |
