In (4) Malcev generalizes the notion of the Lie algebra of a Lie group to that of an anti-commutative "tangent algebra" of an analytic loop. In this paper we shall discuss these concepts briefly and modify them to the situation where the cancellation laws in the loop are replaced by a unique two-sided inverse. Thus we shall have a set H with a binary operation xy defined on it having the algebraic properties

(1.1) H contains a two-sided identity element e;

(1.2) for every xH, there exists a unique element x-1H such that xx-1 = x-1x = e;
