80 The Caribs went nearly naked; when the Spaniards came with clothes and guns the prophecy was explained. _Cochio_ for dress and mantle has affinities with many ancient languages, _Gonachen_ in Iran, _Ahico_ of Guanches, _Poncho_ of Peru and Chili, _Cachaca_ of Gauls, _Cochaya_ of Slavonians, _Cota_ in Celtic &c.: whence our coat.
81 This is the most plausible account of Caonabo; but he perhaps was a Maya and not a Carib: his name is not Carib, but Haytian, meaning _gold of the house_. Anacaona would hardly have married a Carib? I have attempted to put probable dates to these retrospective events, loosely mentioned by Dangleria and the Spanish writers.
82 The intercourse between Cuba, Florida and the Lucayas was frequent.
Dangleria says the Lucayas were a happy people, with beautiful women, for whose sake many Cubans and Floridans came to live there.
83 It will be proper to recapitulate here the ancient nations and tribes of the Antilles, mentioned in these traditions and annals; adding to each some well-known modern nations of the continent, bearing nearly the same name, and most probably descended from them: unless it is preferred to consider them as ancestors rather than posterity, a very improbable fact. Meantime we acquire thereby a new clue to American annals and ethnology: since nearly all the nations of America may be connected with those by other links of languages, traditions &c.
