The grammatical and phonetic relations of the Pano stock have been

judiciously analyzed by M. Raoul de la Grasserie (_Compte-Rendu du

Cong. des Amer._, 1888, p. 438, sq.). The Pano and Culino are seen to

be closely connected, those who use the one doubtless understanding the

other.

The Baré, which is an Arawak dialect, I have inserted here for the sake

of convenience.

The Puinavi is unclassified (see _anté_, p. 278). In the few words above

given, those for “sun,” “water,” and “foot” appear to have affinities to

the Baré.
