_Sabam_ Ceylon.
67 It was _Jaia_, _Khaya_, _Cayo_, _Hay_ in the dialects and it is pure Greek and Egyptian. Compare _Aya_, _Ai_, _Eia_, _Ia_, _Gaya_, in the Pelasgic dialects, since become _Aya_, _Yaia_, _Gea_ in Greek.

68 EL for son was primitive Haytian and synonymous with tribe, children, family, divine or son of G.o.d as in Asia. In the dialects _Rabu_, _Rahen_, _Muru &c._ meant Son. Compare _Ili_ tribe in Persian, _Zitl_ man in Circa.s.sian, _Leh_ Osset, _Lez_ Lezghi. _Lele_ in Pelasgian, UL in Turan, now _Oglu_ in Turk-_Olgos_ Eolian, _Vulgus_ Latin, _Chuli_ in Carthulan, _Oleos_, _Laos_ in Greek, _Eleuth_ in Mongol, _Chula_ old Spanish, _Alu_ Copt, _Bail_ Etruscan, _Cobayl_ Berber, _Haial_ in D. _s.h.i.+luh_, _Ulu_ Afgan, _Eli_ Hungarian, _Filius_ and _fam-ilia_ Latin &c. Even our words _Fellow_, _Child_ and _Folks_ derive from this ancient source, the oriental EL, IL, OL.-In America we find it in the OL-mecas, Chols &c.-_Olo_ in Vilela, _Yoale_ Abipon, ELES Mexican &c.
69 The _Cols_ are perhaps the Chols, Olmecas, _Colas_ of Florida, _Collas_ of Peru &c. The _Caras_ may be the ancient Caribs, or the Guaranis, the _Caras_ of Peru, the _Coras_ of Mexico &c.; compare with the ancient Carians and many other primitive nations.
70 Although we do not meet in Hayti the Greek name of Atlantis, we have so many allusions to the devils _Taras_, and Amazons _Amayuna_, that we can connect these traditions with the Greek accounts. The ancestors of the Haytians if Pelagians were foes and va.s.sals of the Atlantes; but allies of the Amazons.

73 Although Matinino was one of the names of Martinico, it may have been given afterwards, and there may have been another land of that name, perhaps the Atlantis or Trinidad.
Garcia gives _Matalino_ as a synonym, _Ma_ means great, and thus it would be the great TALINO, the real great _Atalantis_. The conjecture is plausible; but the name was afterwards transferred to South America. If the real African Atlantis is meant, the event must be before the last flood.
74 This metal Guanin is the Orichalc of the ancient Greeks; which has so much puzzled the learned, being wrongly deemed Platina, which would have been infusible. It was the production of Atlantis!
75 But Garcia gives a different version of this fable, he says that the men being in want of women sent 4 Caracols (their va.s.sals?) to catch wives, who were like ants on trees; but slippery like eels: yet some being caught became the wives of the Guaninis. Ants were called _Comekhon_ in Haytian, and thus we have another tribe akin to the _Comaguas_, _Comayaguas &c._ who were previous settlers of Hayti, and descendants of _Kon_! the _Khons_ of Lybia? But it is strange that we find here the _Myrmidons_ of Grecian fable! and many affinities in the name of that tribe of ants. _Mur-mekon_ in Pelagian and Greek, _Umekon_ in Thracian, _Formica_ in Latin, _Camot_ in Bali, _Mohur_ in Iran &c., while in America _Comagen_ of Uraba, _Camaxen_ of the Talascas and Opatas. All referring perhaps to the ancient people of Ants; the Pismires of Gothic tribes; a people of dwarfs or weakness, akin to Pygmies and Troglodytes! thus traced also to America.
76 Compare with _Anaboria_ or _Naboritas_ (working men) the following names for va.s.sals and laborers-_Naboriti_ in Coyba, _Labuyu_ of Caribs, _Anaconas_ of Peru and Muyzcas, _Naboria_ of Mayas &c.-and in the east.

77 It is remarkable that the primitive notions of the Haytians about ghosts &c. prevail yet among the Negroes of the Antilles. The _Obiah_ or sortilege, and _Dupin_ ghosts, of Jamaica &c., appear to have survived. If introduced lately by the African Negroes, it is strange they should be similar to the Haytian names of old.
78 The two brothers became G.o.ds of good and evil, as their names indicate-_Gua-tauva_ implies _such goodness_: while _Pregonero_ is the devil of c.u.mana, under the names of _Proruru_ or _Proguro_.
79 These priests drest in white as in Central America, and the Druids; are primitive Lybian or Druidic priests and Pelagic Bramins. Their name is found in
