(See these words in the Diet.), - According to native tradition Onyame was, in an cient times, wor shipped by all the Tshi tribes j but in the course of the centuries this cult was superseded by that of the asamanfo and the abosom, and in our days the influence of Onyame upon the religious, moral or social life of the people is quite insignificant.

(Of. ~ bo som in the Dict.). - The appellation ((fetish", from Port.

O mol) b6s6m, town or cO'l{,ntry genius or demon, tutelary genins of a country or community. b. Abusiia b6som, family genius or demon, guardian spirit of a family. - These two kinds, also called abosom-p5l), great demons, are served by priests (as~fo) but may have their speakers (akomfo, pl'ophets1 soothsayers) besides. Though they are said to be spirits, they are represented by, or occasionally dwell in, stones, caves, trees or other objects i the names of some are at the same time the names of rivers, mountains &c. c.

The spirits of this kind are of a later origin or invention than the former; they are co nsidered as the children of the old or great demons, are, therefore, also called ab6som-mma, the younger demons, and their number is still iocl·easing.

The seven days of the week are named after seven personal beings or Genii, called Ayisi [Awusi], Adw6, Bi!na, Wuku, Yaw, Mi, Am elJ. (The names of the days are: Kwasida [Awnsida], Dw6da, B€nada, Wukuda, Yaw' da, Fida, Mem~ne da). - E very boy receives a name from the day on which he is born, the syllable K wa (= akoa, a man, slave) being prefixed to one of those 7 personal names: Kwast, Kwadwo, Kwabena, Kwaku, Kwaw (F.) or only Yaw, Kofi, Kwame. Thus the name I' Kwasi" means a man belonging to Ayisi, just as "Kwadade" is the name given to one wbo before or at his birth was dedicated to the bosom Adade, or as ffKwagyemaIJ" is the Dame of a slave belonging to a man called A'gye rna!) . - If one called Kwasi, K wadwo &c. salutes a person knowing him by this name, that other person replies: Yaa Ayisi, Yaa Adwo &c.; It'Jbosom a wo agya de woo wo no, ne da na wade gye. 'J The corresponding female names are: Ak6suwa (= A kwasiba), A' dw6wa, A'benaa, A'kuwa, Yaa, (yawa), A'fuwa, A'mma. Such a male or female nam e is called the name of that person's n:>kra" or so'Ul (" WO kra" ne Kwasi), but "'Jkra" is sometimes spoken of as if it were a personal being distinguished from the man himself, so that one who has attained to wealthy circu mstances ascribes it to the favour of his "krall and brings thankofferings to his own "soul". The unusual formation of the above names (i. e. the position of the genitives adwo, bena &c. after Kwa j a separate form for the feminine with the prefix 'a') m.kes it prob.ble th.t the 7 days of the week and the male & female names derived Appendi."( C &, D 600 Mytholog., ethnolog. from them, are not of Tshi orIgIn. Add to this that in most languages of the Sudan there occurs a week of. 4 or 5 days, but not of 7. Cf. also U Adae" in the Diet. There are also nicknames connected with those names corresponding to the days of the week, viz. Bodtia for Kwasi, Ok6t6 for Kwadwo, Ogyam for Kwa bena, 3 te-B nalJka:'nnuro for K warne &0. IV.

According to T. E. Bowdich (111ission to Ashaltlee, London 1819, p. 229) the wbole of the Asante, Wass, Fante, Akem, Asen, Akwam, and part of the Ahanta nations were originally comprebended in 12 ttibes or families. (Part of tbe Akua pems, as far as they are of a common descent with the Akwams and Ake.ms .or have rela.tions in F ante, are inoluded. Whether the Bro:gfo and Kiimanafo Sl'e l.Deluded or not is uncertain). Other native informants omit part of the names gIven by Bow di ~h and give many other names of original families. Acoording to a wide spread native tl'adition there were 7 or iginal families or alans (abusO,abng-aso:g, q. v.): Appendix D & E Proname s of Clans & Persons Beretu, Abrade (AseneE), AduaDa (Aduena), Agona, Asakiti (AsEkyiri), Asona, Oyoko (Owoka). Each family has several branches, known by different names in different localities. - The principle of this division into families is descendance from the same mother, or relation from the mother's side, which relation also determines the right of succession and of inheritance of property among the genuine Tsbi tribes. It is natural that this maternal relation could not become a principle for a politi cal division, and it is, therefore, difficult to obtain a clear insight into these family connections. We arrange the above Dames alphabetically, adding the number in Bowdicb's list, and mention with some of them single towns or districts in which members of such families live. 1.

Appendix E. Proper Names of Persons. Every individual of the Tshi people has usually two names, sometimes one or two bynames (kings may have even more), apart from baptismal Christian names or other European names. - 1. One name (usually, though not always, the first of the two) shows on which da y of the week the child is born. These names and some surnames belonging to them see in App. B. III & Gr. § 41,4. - 2. Of ot her name s there is a great variety : a) Names indicating the place which the person occupies among other children of the same mother, s. Gr. § 41, 5. I!

Some are compounds of two simple names and the constituents may mutually ch ange places, as Korauten or Tel)koraq. - Fem,ale names may be derived from male names by adding the word 'bea or th e termination (ba,) wa or rna, or by lengthening a final "a", as Of€ebea, Ofosuwa, Korantemma or rre:gkoramma, Amp ~ n saii; most of these have been omitted in the following list.
