EUR - ARYAN ROOTSWITH THEIR ENGLISH DERIVATIVESAND THECORRESPONDING WORDS IN THE COGNATE LANGUAGESCOMPARED AND SYSTEMATICALLY ARRANGEDBYJ. BALY, M.A.Worcester College, Oxon. , Fellow of Calcutta UniversitySometime Archdeacon of CalcuttaVOL. I.༣NEW YORKHENRY HOLT AND COMPANY18987721B219eWMERINTRODUCTION.THE DESIGN of this work is to present to English readers in as populara form as the subject admits, and with an especial reference to theEnglish language, the results recently obtained by German philologists.Although it was an Englishman-Sir William Jones-to whom wasdue the first practical impulse to the study of the comparative philology of the Eur-Aryan languages, when in 1786 he declared ' that nophilologer could examine the Sanscrit, Greek and Latin withoutbelieving them to have sprung from a common source, and that theGothic and Celtic languages had probably the same origin, ' yet theimpulse thus given was not immediately followed by English scholars .6It was Francis Bopp, of Berlin, who, in 1833 (nearly fifty yearsafterwards) , published his Comparative Grammar of the Sanscrit,Zend, Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, Gothic, German, and Sclavoniclanguages,' and in that work first laid the scientific foundation forthe study of comparative philology. He was closely followed by asuccession of eminent scholars—Aug. Fred. Pott, Max Müller,Diefenbach, Schleicher, G. Curtius, Aug. Fick, Karl Brugmann,and others, who have built upon the foundation laid by Bopp astructure of scientific certainty, and placed it beyond the possibilityof question that the old Aryan, Iranic, and Armenian languages inAsia; the old Greek, Latin , Lithuanian, Slavonic, Teutonic, Celtic, inEurope; and all the modern languages descended from them both inAsia and Europe, are, in truth, only dialects of a common language· once spoken by a people living together in the same seats, who insuccessive migrations separated, and now form distinct nations; andthat their speech, originally one and the same, has been so changedafter their dispersion by the influence of their external circumstances,varying modes of life, importations of new words from different foreign131152vi INTRODUCTION.sources, &c. , that it has developed into many languages, each intelligible only to those that use it.English scholars-notably Skeat, Sayce, Whitley Stokes, andWhitney in America-have made most valuable contributions to thefuller knowledge of the comparative philology of the Eur-Aryanlanguages, and to the proof of their original unity. I have availedmyself largely of their help; yet it will be acknowledged that in thefulness of their data and the accuracy of their research the greatGerman scholars are still pre-eminent. This attempt, therefore, tomake English readers better acquainted with German scholarshipwill, I hope, help them to a better understanding of the origin,formation, and history of by far the larger proportion of Englishwords, and of their relation, not only to words in other languages, butto other English words, often differing widely in sound and sense,yet having a common origin and a proved etymological connection.The original speech of the ancestral race, and the collective groupof the languages into which it has developed have been variouslydenoted by the names Aryan, Indo-Germanic, Indo-European. Theseare confessedly inexact and inadequate. To apply the term Aryan,which denotes strictly only the Indian and Iranic peoples with thelanguages they use-viz. Sanscrit, Zend, and the modern Indian andPersian vernaculars-is an arbitrary use of the word, and would seemto favour a false notion that these are the older languages and therest of the group derived from them, instead of the fact that all havedeveloped contemporaneously from the same parent source. IndoGermanic, again, connotes only the Indian and Germanic dialects,omitting the Iranic , Celtic, &c. , while Indo- European omits the Zendand the modern Persian vernacular. I have therefore ventured tosubstitute for those hitherto used the term Eur-Aryan, which, thoughless simple than Aryan, has the advantage of being truer, and is bothless cumbrous and more exact than either Indo- Germanic or IndoEuropean. It was first suggested to me by Mr. Wh. Stokes.A brief explanation is necessary of what is meant by roots. Theoriginal language of the Eur-Aryan people had become inflectionallong before their division, and had attained a high standard of grammatical completeness. It had special forms for genders, numbersand cases of nouns, for personal endings, numbers, tenses and moodsof verbs, and for all the other parts of speech, as proved by a com-INTRODUCTION. vii·parison of the grammatical forms still to be found in all the existinglanguages of the Eur-Aryan group. But there are no less evidenttraces that in a far remote age Eur-Aryan speech passed through theuninflectional stage, in which a number of articulate sounds, rather thanwords properly so called, served as the means of expressing humanthought, emotion, and sensation. And philological research leads usto the conclusion that the oldest of these sounds were of the shortestand simplest kind, nothing more than either single- vowel or diphthongal sounds, or combinations of a single or double consonant witha vowel in the forms a +p or p +a. Each of these, if we may judgefrom later root-sounds, had a wide range of meaning, the various shadesof which must, in the earliest stage, have been differentiated byvariety of gesture, intonation, lengthening or shortening the vowel, orchanging its quality. As the range of human thought and experienceexpanded and became more complex, the need was felt of a larger andmore complex mode of expression, which was obtained first of all bysimple juxtaposition. Two or more sounds were put together to conveya concept for which a single sound was inadequate, and of this compound so formed one part became in time associated with the essentialmeaning, the others expressed subordinate relations, such as timewhen, manner how, a doer or a thing done, number, gender, person,&c. &c. Later, simple juxtaposition was followed by fusion of theparts into one compact word, of which, however, one part was stillregarded as the kernel and the significant element, and the others asmerely formative, expressing relation of one kind or another. Inthe language of grammar the first is called the root, the secondsuffixes e.g. in Sans. sach-a-ti , Zend hach-ai-ti, Gk, EπT-E- Taι,Lat, seqv-i-tur, all from Eur-Ar. seq-e-ti , the first syllable is theroot, while the two others are regarded as merely formative suffixes,although at one time they, too, probably had an independent meaningof their own.As an example of the earlier Eur-Ar. root- sounds we may take√ei-, √i-, to go, from which are Sans. e-ti , Zend ãi-ti, Gk. cî-01 (for ei-tı) ,Lat. i-t , Lith. ei-ti , goes, Goth. i-ddja, went. Eur-Ar. √på-, nourish,protect, rule, from which are Sans. pi-tr, Gk. Tα-τýρ, Lat. pa-ter,Goth. fa-dar, N.H.G. va-ter, N.E. fa-ther. Eur-Ar. √pi-, √po-, drink,from which are Sans. pi-tas, drunk, Gk. πí-vw, to drink, TO-Týρ,drinker, Lat. po-tus, a drink.The later Eur-Ar. roots were extended from the older by addingviii INTRODUCTION.to them final consonants, single or double, which are probably theremains of older significant sounds, and were employed to differentiateand modify the wider range of meaning covered by the unextendedroot: e.g. √√ter-q-, turn, twist, from which are Sans. tark-us, a spindle,Gk. а-трак- тоs s.s., Lat. torqv-ere, to twist, is an extended form of√ter-, through, pass through , from which are Sans. tar-ati, pierces,Lat. ter-it, wears away.Another method of extending the root is by imperfect reduplication: e.g. Eur-Ar. √ger-g- (for ger-ger), from simple form √ger-, toswallow, from which are formed Sans. gar-gar-a, an eddy, Gk. yópyvp-a, a drain, sewer, Lat. gurg-es, a whirl-pool, N.H.G. gurg-el, thegullet, N.E. gurgle, a noise in the throat. In the following pages frequentinstances will be found both of these and of other modifications of theolder and simpler root-sounds. What determines these and their modifications, and connects a particular sound with a particular action,thought, feeling, or state, seems to me a physiological question of thesame kind as the inquiry into the connection of the various soundsmade by the dog in the expression of his anger, fear, pleasure, orpain, and to lie outside the province of comparative philology.Dealing with the languages of Eur-Aryan origin now existing, eitherin books, ancient documents, or modern speech, its concern is totrace their development from the original root-sounds, and to proveas a matter of indisputable fact that they all belong to one stock, andthat notwithstanding their present differences of form the greaterbulk of their words are the same words, and retain the same, or asimilar meaning as the words used by the old Eur-Aryan peoples ina far remote past, and long before the dawn of the earliest history.The method I have adopted in tracing English words to theirEur-Aryan root is the following:Under each Eur-Aryan root the nearest cognates in each derivative language, where such are found, and attested by agreement withthe established laws of phonetic change, are placed in this order:Sanscrit, Zend, Armenian, Greek, Latin, L. Latin and Romance,Balto-Slave, Teutonic, and Celtic. Under Sanscrit, words from themodern Indian vernaculars will sometimes be found; and under Zend,occasionally, modern Persian words. Greek includes the variousdialectic forms of the language; and Latin, words of Umbrian andOscan. L. Latin and Romance include, as a rule, Italian, Provençal,old and new French, and Middle English words; less frequently,INTRODUCTION. ixSpanish and Portuguese. Under Balto-Slave, Lithuanian and O.Slavonic will generally be found; old Prussian, Lettish, and Russian,only occasionally. Under Teutonic, words from Gothic, old and newHigh German, old Norse, and Anglo- Saxon are generally cited; LowGerman, Dutch, and old Frisian, less frequently. Celtic includes oldand new Irish, Welsh, Gaelic, and Breton. Nearly all our Englishwords are traced back to the Eur-Ar. root through a Greek, Latin,Romance, Teutonic, or Celtic channel, and very few through Sanscrit,Zend, Armenian, and Balto-Slave; yet these languages are cited tosupply an intermediate link of resemblance, otherwise missing, andso to strengthen the chain of connection between all the severallanguages. Sanscrit and Zend citations have, indeed, a special value,because, if cognate to European words, they prove that both belongedto the Eur-Aryan race before its partition into the Asiatic andEuropean branches.As an example useful for the guidance of readers the Eur-Ar. root√tel- √tll- may be selected. It has the senses to bear, endure, carry,take, lift, weigh, balance.The Sanscrit form of the root is tul- tol-, found in tola, a weight,balance, zodiacal sign, equality, similarity (Hindi, tola, a small weight= oz.) , tula-yata, weigh, compare, match.1•Greek, ταλ- τλα-, in τάλας, suffering , τλάω, to endure, τλητός,Dor.

To illustratethese remarks by the example given above of √tel- √tll-. The word' tola,' cited as a derivative from Sanscrit through Hindi, is a directloan-word in frequent use among Anglo-Indians. The words Atlas,Atlantic, tantalise, are direct loan-words from the Greek. Talent isan indirect loan-word, which has come from the Greek, through Lat.talentum, F. talent, into English, where it may be now regardedas domiciled. Extol and the other words cited as Latin derivativeswere adopted direct from Latin, into the written language first, butbeing used with Eng. inflections, they quickly passed into general use,and became part of the language.own.The L. Latin and Romance languages occupy a place of theirTheir words are mostly Latin as spoken by the Romanised' It is often hard to say whether a word should be classed as a loan-word, or asone grafted upon the language. A word may be limited to the cultivated classes fora period, and be spelt and pronounced as a foreign word, which in time is taken upby the mass of the people, and is subjected then to the popular spelling and pronunciation. When the word theatre was first introduced into English from the French,it was pronounced theatre; when it came into general use it was shortened to theatre;but old-fashioned people still pronounced theatre; and now that pronunciation, oncethat of the cultivated class, has become a vulgarism. The word tea was first pronounced ' tay ' by the refined, tee ' by the vulgar; nowthe latter is general, the former has become a vulgarism.xii INTRODUCTION.Celts and the mixed populations of Spain and Italy; but manyTeutonic and Celtic words are found, in a somewhat disguised form,in the various Romance languages. The Old French has a specialinterest for English students, as so large a number of its words wereintroduced into English under the Norman kings, between 1050 and1350 A.D. (about), which have given quite a new character to thelanguage. It is in these words that the original Eur- Aryan root ismost disguised, and, in some instances, completely hidden; as, forinstance, N.E. level shows but little connection with √tel until it istraced through M.E. livel, O.F. livel, Ital. livella, Lat. libella andlibra, to Old Lat. tli-bra, where the root syllable tli- connects it atonce with Eur-Ar. tel-.From the Balto- Slave languages the English derives the word' talk ' through the O.N. tulke, Swed. tolka, Dan. tolke, from Lithuanian tulkas, O. Slav. tluku, an interpreter (?, pp. 459, 509) .From Teutonic sources English seems to have no modern representative of √tel- but the almost obsolete Scotch provincialism ' thole,'to bear, endure. The O.N. thola, A.S. tholian, have disappeared from thelanguage, and their place is taken by the Teutonic ' beran ,' and derivatives from Lat. ' ferre, ' ' durare, ' and ' pati '; but modern German stillretains dulden, to bear, and geduld, patience.These changes must not be regarded as arbitrary or accidental.They are regulated by general laws, ascertained and attested by induction from a large number of instances in conformity with them. Anyvariation from these, incapable of explanation, throws a doubt uponthe correctness of the etymology in which it is found; although theremay be cases where, notwithstanding a variation from the law, theevidence in favour of the etymology is so strong that it may beaccepted as highly probable, though perhaps not absolutelyproved.To give a full and detailed explanation of every change of soundor letter would occupy far too large a space, and I can only appendto this Introduction a tabular statement of the regular changes withsome explanatory notes of the most frequent or important of them ,to which readers should pay very careful attention.INTRODUCTION. xiiiFor a more complete explanation the undermentioned books maybe consulted:For the changes in the whole range of the Eur- Aryan languages,Vol. I. of Brugmann's Comparative Grammar.'For special changes from Latin affecting the Romance group,the Introduction to Brachet's ' Etymological Dictionary of the FrenchLanguage.'For changes of the Eur-Aryan sounds in the Teutonic group,Noreen's Abriss der Urgermanische Lautlehre.'For special sound-changes in the Teutonic group, Wilmann's' Deutsche Grammatik '; Skeat's ' Brief Notes, ' pages xiii-xx in theIntroduction to his 'Etymological Dictionary.'

Referring next to the proper pages, the wordwill be found among the English Derivatives, ' and very occasionallyin a footnote, and he will then, by tracing it upward to its channelor channels of derivation, be able to see at a glance how it hascome into the English language, what changes of form or meaningit has undergone, what are its nearest cognates in other languages,and, finally, how through one or more of these it may be traced upto its original Eur-Ar. root.xvi INTRODUCTION.TABLE OF SOUNDEUR-AR.

'XX INTRODUCTIONNOTES ON THE TABLE OF SOUND OR LETTER CHANGES.(1) It must be remembered that these changes occurred beforethe introduction of writing, and in the first place were merelyof sound; when sound was afterwards expressed in writing, thealphabets expressed the change of sounds previously completed bya corresponding change of the letter employed to represent it. Thusin the change caused by labialisation, while non-labialising Sanscritused the symbol denoting a hard ' g ' sound, the labialising Greeksused ẞ, the Latins ' v,' the Teutonic q or kv. For the consonantalsound of i (i ) the Sans. used y (pronounced as in ' you ' ) . The Greeksrepresented it when initial by ( ) spiritus asper; the Armenians,Latins, Balto-Slavs, and Teutons, by j ( =Eng. y) .(2) The table includes the most prominent of regular changes,especially those of initial sounds or letters; but besides these thereare other changes in each of the several languages which cannot berepresented in a general table, and demand a separate study. Such,for instance, in Greek are the changes of τέν- ω to τείνω, πράκτιωto πрáσσш, пράτTw: in Latin, of ves- num to vēnum, mems-rum tomembrum, &c. &c.: in Sans. the changes of ai , au, to aya, ava; ofva- to u, &c. &c.(3) The gutturals q, g, qh, gh, are generally described as velar orlabio-velar ( so called from velum palati, the soft palate, which is instrumental in their pronunciation); k, g, gh, are described as palatal,because pronounced from the hard palate in front of the velum palati.The former are deep gutturals with an inclination for a labial aftersound, and are most easily pronounced before a, aw, u, ō. This labialtendency finds in several languages a literal expression , (a) by addingu or w to the guttural letter: e.g. Lat. quis, A.S. hwa, who, fromEur-Ar. qe, qo; A.S. cwen, queen, from Eur-Ar. gen; (b) by thefalling away of the guttural, and the substitution of a labial: e.g. inGothic fidwor, Wel. pedwar, from Eur-Ar. qetuer, four; Gk. Baivo,Lat. venio, from Eur-Ar. gam, to go; Goth. wulfs, O.H.G. wolf, fromEur-Ar. ulqos (wulkos) ,, a wolf. In Gk. the change is sometimes toT, 8, 9, as Greek TéτTapes = Eur-Ar. qetuer, dɛλþús = Sans. garbhas,INTRODUCTION. xxithe womb, from Eur-Ar. gerbh-, to contain, enclose. This change iscalled labialisation. The labialising languages are Greek, Latin,Celtic, Teutonic; the non-labialising, Aryan, Armenian, and BaltoSlav. But even in the labialising languages, velar gutturals oftenremain unchanged; words are labialised in one language and not inanother; and in the same languages, of words derived from the sameroot some are labialised, others not. The laws determining thevariations are not yet ascertained.(4) It will be observed from the Table of changes that Lat. frepresents the three Eur-Aryan aspirates gh- dh- and bh-; e.g. Lat.formus, warm, from Eur-Ar. √gher-, to be warm; Lat. fac-ere, to do,from an extension of Eur-Ar. ✔dhe-; Lat. fari, to speak, from Eur-Ar.✔bhe-.(5) In Celtic, Eur-Ar. p is never retained as p. It was lost inprimitive Celtic; cp. O. Ir. orc, a pig (from Eur-Ar. √perk-), with Latinporc-us; O. Ir. athir, a father (from Eur-Ar. √pa-) , with Latin pater;O. Ir. en, Bret. etn, a fowl (from Eur-Ar. √pet-, to fly), with Latinpenna (for petna, a wing) , Ir. nia, Wel. nai, sister's son (from Eur-Ar.nepot), with Latin nepos, nepotis. But pt in Ir. becomes cht: cp.Ir. secht, Wel. seith (from Eur-Ar. septm, seven), with Latin septem;Ir. suan, Wel. hun, sleep (from Eur-Ar. √suep-), with Gk. úπvos , Lat.somnus (for sopnus). The p which is found in the British forms ofCeltic represents Eur-Ar. q, which in Ir. is represented by c: e.g. Wel.pimp (cp. Gk. Téμжε) , O. Ir. coic, five Eur-Ar. qenqe; Wel.pen-Ir. ceann, head, summit.is(6) In the Teutonic languages f is the representative in genuineTeutonic words of Eur-Ar. p: e.g. Goth. fulls, OH.G. fol , A.S. ful, full ,O.N. fullr, full, from Eur-Ar. ple-, full. In foreign loan- words pretained in the L.G. dialects, which becomes pf in o. and N.H.G.: e.g.A.S. pāl, Du. paal, but O.H.G. pfal , N.H.G. pfahl, a pole or stake, fromLat . palus. In some loan-words of early introduction b representsEur-Ar. p: e.g. O.H.G. biscof, A.S. bisceop, from Gk. ¿TiσKOπos, theGoth. aipiskaupus, a bishop. In Goth. and the Low German dialects prepresents a Eur-Ar. b, as Goth. slep, A.S. slæp, O. Sax. slup, Du.slaap; but o. and N.H.G. use f, as in slaf, schlaf, sleep, from Eur- Ar.√sleb-, slack, languid (cp. Lat. labi, to sink, grow weak, O. Slav.slabu, lax, weak).(7) ofthe sounds r and 1, r is thought the elder, and 1 a dialecticform struck off from it while the Eur-Aryans were undivided . Nolaw can be safely laid down for the use of r and 1 in the derivativelanguages. In Sanscrit there is scarcely a root with 1 which does notxxii INTRODUCTION.also show derivative forms with r. In the later period of the language the distinction between r and 1 became wider, and 1 formsmore general, yet still much less common than the r forms, in theproportion of one 1 form to seven or eight r forms. Of the otherlanguages of the group, Zend and O. Persian used the r form exclusively, while the Armenian and European languages use both r and 1forms: e.g. Sans. purnas, Zend parena, full, Gk. Tíμπλημe, to fill,Lat. pletus, Lith. pilnas, O. Slav. plunu, Goth. fulis, O.H.G. fol , O. Ir.lān (for plono), full. A similar variety of taste or facility in the useof sounds exists in the case of r and 1 between the Chinese and theMaoris. The Chinese dislike r, and when found in a foreign wordpronounce it as 1, ' all light ' for ' all right,' "'melikins ' for ' Americans ';while the Maoris dislike 1 and prefer r, pronouncing ' Leviticus ' as' Revitiruha.' In the European languages it cannot be incapacity topronounce either, since both sounds occur in the same languages,and it is therefore probable that combination in the word of r and 1with some other sound or sounds determines the choice betweenthem-one combination making the ' r' form, another the ' 1 ' form ,the easier or pleasanter to use.(8) When s is found as the first of two consonants in a root,it is dropt in some languages, retained in others: e.g. in ske- ste-√sne- √spe- √sme- √sle- √sre, √sue- which are found also in theforms √ke- √te- √ne- √pe- me- le- re-, √ue-, so that there aretwo forms of the roots and of their derivatives to be found in differentlanguages, and even in the same language, one with, the other without,s: e.g. in Sans. paçyate and spaçyate, to mark, from Eur-Ar. √pe- and✓spe- respectively; Gk. σTέyw, Lat. tego, to cover, from Eur-Ar.√steg- and √teg-; Gk. -σkoos, ' caring for,' Gk. Koέw, to observe,Lat. caveo, beware, A.S. sceawian, to cause to see, show, from✔skey- and key-; Gk. Taupos , O.H.G. stior, a bull , steer, fromEur-Ar. steur-os, teuros; Sans. sname, bathe, wash, Lat. nāre, toswim, Lat. navis, a ship, from Eur-Ar. sne- and √ne-, to be moist,wash, float, &c. &c. A similar loss of the initial consonant occurs inother combinations than those with s, but less frequently: e.g.√nip-=√knip-, Vrek-- Vurek, &c.kośw,The change of s to r between two vowels may be noted in Latinand Teutonic; also of final s to r: as Old Lat. eso for later ero, I shallbe, O. Lat. esus for later erus, herus, a master, lord; Class. Lat.Aurora for older Ausosa, the dawn, cp. Sans. ushas (s.s. ); O.H.G. chiusuto churum, choran , N.H.G. erkiesen, to choose, p.p. erkoren, chosen,O.H.G. friosan, p.p. gifroran; Latin arbos, arbor, honos, honor, &c. ,INTRODUCTION. xxiiiGoth. us-, O.H.G. ir-, N.H.G. er- prefix. In Celtic s between vowels wasreplaced by h and finally dropt: e.g. O. Ir. iarn, Wel. hearn for iharn,eharn, from older Isarn-, found in Latino- Celtic Isarnodori, The irongates,' from Eur-Ar. ais, metal, copper, brass."(9) There is also an occasional falling away of r from a combinationof consonants in Latin, e.g. in testa for * tersta, tostus for * torstus,posco for *porcsco, festino for *ferstino. A similar loss of r occursin the Prakrit and modern vernaculars which have developed fromSanscrit: e.g. Hindi bhai, from Sans. bhrātar, brother, Hindi puchna,to ask, Sans. pracchati, asks ( = Lat. poscit).(10) It will be seen that in the derivatives from the same rootdifferent vowels are used, e.g. (in Greek) pópos, páp, a thief, frompépw, to bear, carry (Eur-Ar. √bher-). In Latin str-uere (cp . Sans.str-tas), ster-nere, strā-tus (cp. Gk. σTρwτós) from Eur-Ar. √ster-, toextend, spread out, strew. Similar changes occur in all the Eur-Aryanlanguages. The German name for this change of vowel is ' Ablaut,'and Brugmann explains this term by Vocal-Abstufung,' i.e. vowelgradation. English scholars use for this system of vocal changeeither the German term Ablaut ' or the English terms vowel-gradation, vowel-mutation. A scheme of these vowel- changes is given byBrugmann ( Comp. Gram. ' i . 250), and illustrated by the nominalsuffix -ter-, -tor- as follows: -6Low grades-ter--torHigh grades(a) in unaccented (b) with grave ( 1 ) tér (2) tor (3) tér (4) tōrsyllable-tr- traccent-trrFor the more complete explanation of these changes in the ě, ǎ, andŎ vowel-rows, his whole section from p. 246 to p. 261 should bestudied.xxiv INTRODUCTION.TABLE OFEUR-ARYAN, AND SANSCRIT LETTER-SOUNDS.EUR-ARYAN= ǎ Eng. a in pat الع= 99 a in cartSANSCRITI = 99В п111Пů ==П П Пx 10xej===eu=oi""i in pinee in peeru in putoo in mood" e in pet" a in pate19 o in on19 o in bone= "= ""دود محموددشود " =ouaj =au|| 11 || 0i in pineoo in soot (?) , rootoi in coin (?)oo in moodwith the same sound as Eur-Ar.Sanscrit has no ĕė (regarded as a diphthong) a in pate Sanscrit has no Ŏ=0 in boneai -y in why (broadly pronounced)au =ow in townkkin Katekh =ckh in block- headg =gin gateghgh in loghutn =ng (nearly) before gutturalsn =ny (nearly) before palatalsn = dental, as n in pantchch in churchchhchh in church-hilljjin jet" y in try (broad)"" ow in town= "" y in yon99 w in war= " c in coo (deep guttural)19 k in kin (nearly as ky-) jh =dgh in hedg(e)hog = " g in goose (deep guttural) ţ =t in tool (cerebral)= " gin gear (soft guttural)t -t in tip (dental)= "9 gh in foghorn ḍd= in doom (cerebral)dgh in rag- heap =d in dip (dental)th =th in rat-hole B " t in tub th = th in dialectic top o'thill ddhp =

Fick's explanation must be regarded as doubtful, notwithstanding the apparentlyintimate connection as regards meaning between hilaris and iλapós; cp. ¡λápia(Lucian) and hilaria (a festival celebrated at Rome about the time of the vernalequinox, iλapórns (Plutarch) and hilaritas , which, however, look like transliterations ofLatin words by one writing in Greek. ' Iλapós may be connected with laos, gra ivus,kindly, and the verb ἱλάω, ἵλαμαι, λάσκομαι, which Brugmann derives from a Greekbase σλα-, ἵλαμαι standing for σί- σλα-μαι: cp. ἵστημι for σί-στημι. If this be correct theorigin of hilaris is still to seek.2 Corssen derives æstumare from æs (copper, bronze) + -tumo from √ti-, estimate,and gives as its meaning ' to reduce to a copper standard ': e.g. a sheep waspriced at 10, an ox at 100, lb. of copper (Festus, p. 273). The early use of theword in this sense makes this seem probable (cp. also, from the XII. Tables, ' tribusnundinis continuis in comitium procitato et æris æstimiam prædicato ' ). Brugmannconnects it with Goth aistan, O.H.G. êra, as given in the text.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS, 3Eur-Ar. √AIS-, to be fresh, lively, strong—perhaps identical with thepreceding.Sanscrit, ish-, sap, strength, freshness, in ishiras, vigorous, strong,invigorating (an epithet of the gods) , ish-ayati, ' invigorates.'Greek, is- in iɛpós (for iopos) , Hom. ipós, Æol. ¡após, vigorous, lively,divine, sacred (cp.

On the whole, it seems that the explanation of Diefenbach is correct, notwithstanding Kluge's objection. In Sonnabend as in Fastnacht, the terminations wereused in the ecclesiastical sense given to the word eve in English. Although the OldGerman way of counting the whole day of twenty-four hours may have begun fromthe night, yet abend, evening, may have still meant the last part of the light day.The Greek vuxenµepov, a day of twenty-four hours, suggests a similar computation, yet¿yía (from ¿yé, late, late in the day, probably cognate with Gothic af, afta) the latterpart ofthe day, the evening, implies that the evening was considered as the last partof the light day. Noreen's explanation is compatible with the one given in thetext; as is also Murray's.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 15the prefix a = not Lat. ab, but ad, or e, ex, as in a-bridge, amerce &c.(see Ad) .Teutonic, of, ¹ off, offal , off-set, &c . , aft, eft- in eft-soons, abaft ( = onbi-aft, in the hinder part), after, aftermost, after-ward, &c. , evening,even, eve (day before a festival), even-song, even-tide, &c. , awkward.Latin, Abella (origin of the name unknown) , a town of Campania,celebrated for the cultivation of fruit-trees, especially the apple: cp.Virg.

- Schrader (Antiq. of the Aryan People, p. 276) is inclined to derive all these
names of the fruit from the name of the town Abellæ ( cp. German Pfirsich, peach,from Latin [malum] persicum, the Persian apple). This he supposes to have beenfirst adopted by the Celts as they passed through Italy, and to have spread from themto the other North European branches of the Eur- Aryan people (see also Cormac'sGloss.

The Latin applied their name, ais, to copper first, after to bronze,when copper received the special name as Cuprium. The Teutons got their namesfor copper from the Latin Cuprium.' The Celts, on the other hand, borrowed theirnames for iron from a Latin ais (later æs) and passed them on to the Teutonic races.The absence of any cognate name, either general or special, among the Greeks, is anargument in favour of the Semitic, or at least foreign, origin of µéraλλov for metal.(See under ✔al-. )EUR- ARYAN ROOTS. 41Eur-Ar.

The initial vowel of the root has been lost in every language except theGreek. Curtius coincides with this and compares the loss of the initial vowel ofVes-, to be, in Sans. s-mas, we are, but its retention in the Gk. čσμes . Max Müllerand others refer dant, dens, &c. to ✔de-, to divide.2 In the earliest stage of the Eur- Aryan speech the liquids r and I were probablyonly dialectic variants of the same sound, but in the later stages they had differentand definite sounds, as shown by the fact that the Armenian and European languagesin some cases agreed in the consistent use of r while in others they employed as consistently 1. In Sanscrit there is scarcely a root containing an 1 which does not showalso forms with r, and words even in the same text were found written both with r and 1.In the later stage of the language the difference became more marked, and the use of1 more frequent, though still much less frequent than the use of r, in the proportionof 1: 7 or 8. This peculiarity explains the fact that in the European languages derivatives of the same Eur- Ar. root are found retaining sometimes r sometimes 1.• Probably, nothing more than a paddle worked from the stern, and serving bothas oar and rudder. That Sans. aritram had only this sense, not that of plough(to which the name vykas, wolf, was given) , while there is Gk. porpov for plough,indicates that the plough came into use after the separation of the Indian andEuropean branches of the Eur- Aryan people, and the name given to it in theEuropean languages was formed from the root √ar-, to drive or propel, which layat the base of aritram, a paddle or rudder.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 51Greek, op-, εp-, ap-, aλ-, with variant oλ-, ɛλ-, in opvvµɩ, rise up,õpvis, -Oos, a bird, Epxw ( = ep-oxw) , to come (cp.

The Romance forms and the English ermine must therefore be derived from the O.H.G. harmo, or M.H.G. hermelin,EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 57Greek, aristo-cracy, &c. , Areopagus, hill of Ares or Mars, arithmetic, arthritis, harmony, -ic, -ious, harmonium, &c. , artery, arterial.Latin, art, artful, artless, article (thr.

It was afterwardsused both for lighting and for food. The home of the true olive was probably inthe southern part of Asia Minor, and its oil was in common use among the Semiticinhabitants of Palestine and Syria for anointing, lighting, and cooking. It is probablethat at an early date Phoenician traders imported oil into Greece, and that its earlyuse there was only among the wealthy for anointing the body. The cultivation ofthe true olive extended along the coast of Asia Minor and the Greek islands, until itreached Greece itself, and thence spread into Italy. The northern races learnt the use of oil, and borrowed its name, from the Greeks and Romans. This view ofHehn's is opposed to the derivation of haios, the wild olive, from a root ' Li, ' tosmear, anoint, for if the Greeks only became acquainted with the use of oil for theperson through the Phoenicians, why should they have called the wild olive, whichthey had known before, by a name expressing the sense of smearing? It wouldseem, therefore, either that they had previously used for anointing a coarse kind ofoil from the wild olive, or else that there is no connection between λaios and LI-,to smear. In this case, if λ alov is to be regarded as a Eur-Aryan word, it shouldbe referred to vēl-, to burn.60 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.Latin, ar- in arcere, to keep off, enclose, protect, arx, -cis, a citadel,arcus or arquus, a bow, a weapon, arca, a chest, arcanus, shut up,closed, coerc-ere, to restrain, ex-erc-ere, to exercise, exercitus, an army,exercitium, an exercise.L.

This name is conjectured by Hehn to be derived from 'Aλúßŋ, a townin Pontus, mentioned in the Iliad as the home of silver, tnλóber è§ 'Aλúßns, 80evἀργύρου ἐστὶ γενέθλη. It cannot be inferred from the above that silver was knownto the Eur-Aryan people before its partition. In the Vedic period rājata was still an adjective = white, shining, and became the name of the metal at a later period. Itmay have been used in this sense in common by the Indian, Iranic, and Armenianpeoples. The Southern European races may have followed them in converting theadjective into the name of the metal, although the Oscan aragetud looks like aloan-word. The Northern European races derived their name for silver from anentirely different source, and probably became first acquainted with the metal at alater period.

In the Greek, ¿λøń = produce, gain, except perhaps in theHomeric donσths = workingfor daily bread. The other Greek derivative, oppavós =child bereft of parents ( specially ) , bereaved, destitute (in a general sense). It ispossible, however, that an earlier sense may have been the inheritor of his father's_personal effects: cp. Germ. erbe, an heir. In the Lat. labor the sense of work, tail,hardship is prominent, but orphanus has the same meaning as in Greek, from whichit is borrowed, i.e. a fatherless child, or inheritor of a father's property. In theTeutonic languages, if Goth. arbi and arbaiths may be regarded as cognate, Goth.arbi, O.H.G. erbi, &c. , express only the inheritance and the inheritor, while Goth.arbaiths with O.H.G. arabeit, &c. = toil, hard labour; so that virtually the twoTeutonic words together contain the four ideas developed from the root-viz. theproperty acquired by the parent, the inheritance of it on his death by his orphanchildren, and the labour by which it was acquired.(2) The Gk. ¿λph, gain, earning, Lat. labor, toil, Goth. arbi, inheritance, date fromthe early period, when the nomad and pastoral stage was passing over into the moresettled agricultural, and the harder and more constant labour demanded by agriculture was irksome to men accustomed to the comparative freedom from toil of thenomadand pastoral life; and this sense of irksomeness is expressed both in Latin laborand Goth. arbaiths, and perhaps in Gk. dλønσths, working for bread. Cp. Gen.iii. 17,19, where the necessity of working for daily bread is described as the effect of a curse.The terms doh, arbi, labor, arbaiths, indicate also that the property inherited bychildren was only that acquired by the personal labour of the parent, his personaleffects, not the land, which was still the common property of the tribe or community, and reverted to it when the member holding it died. Thus A.S. yrfe =battle as well as inheritance, O.N. orf, also cattle, goods and chattels.

Cleasby, however, says that sund, an arm ofthe sea, is from theO.N. vb. sundra, to separate (sunder) , which is much more probable, andcontradicts Skeat's derivation of F. sonder from O.N. sund.

This explanation is supported (1) by theEtruscan name for the Sun God, Usil; (2) by the phonetic changeοἱ αὐστώς το ἠ-ώς, which is the analogue of αὐσέλιος to ἠ-έλιος;(3) by ' Auseli,' the old name of the Aurelian family, and the accountof its origin given by Festus, that the Aurelian family was originallySabine, and derived its name from the sun ' (*Auselos or * Ausos),"because the Roman people gave to them the ground on which theyoffered sacrifices to the Sun; hence they were called Auseli, ' afterwards Aurelii.

Curtius. On the other hand, DieffenbachPictet, Kluge and Brugmann connect Aos with the Eur-Ar. √suer- sur- √suel-✔sul- with later forms ✔uer- ur- √uel- ✔ul-, with the sense to shine, glow. Tothis root the name of the sun is referred in all languages of Eur-Aryan origin: Sans.sur-as, Zend hvar, Gk. λios, Lat. sol, Lith. saule, Goth. sauil, O.N. sol, A.S. sol(poetic), Corn. houl , Wel. heul, the sun. In addition to these σειρός, σείριος, hot,scorching (adj. ) , the dog-star (subs. ) , Lat. serenus, bright, Goth. sunno, O.H.G.sunna, N.H.G. sonne, A.S. sunne, the sun, are either from the same root ✔uersuel (the Teutonic forms having assimilated 1 to n, sulno - sunno) , or from thesimpler form ✔sue, to warm, scorch. According to this explanation Gk. λos andthe Celtic heul, houl, alone have lost the initial σ, which in Greek is represented bythe spiritus asper, in Celtic by the aspirate h. The balance of authority is stronglyin favour of this, but Curtius has also a strong case, and it is difficult to decide thequestion. (See his Gk. Etym.

This is a general explanation; but the wordbustum, the place where dead bodies were burnt, makes this doubtful, and a connectionwith Sans. prush, to burn, has been supposed.' Urna is variously derived from ✅uer- ✅ur-, to be wet, moist, with the primarysense a vesselfor carrying water, or from √ur-, to burn, either from its being baked inthefurnace, or from its use as holding the ashes ofthe body burnt on thefuneral pyre.But Brugmann connects it with a root ✔urk-, and urceus, regarding it as a con- tracted form of urc-na.' Liddell and Scott, following Pott, refer Vesuvius to a compound of ve- in anegative sense with oßév-vvμs, to extinguish. Vesuvius, therefore, is equivalent toàoBeorós, if this explanation is correct.The general derivation of Hesperus is from a root ves-, to cover, and a connec- tion is supposed with the Sans. vas-kara, covering. But the Greeks seem to haveconnected the notion of giving light rather than of an all- covering darkness, withHesperus, as the morning star; and the bright glow of sunset affords a reason forapplying the same name to it in the evening.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 89cloth on a gilded staff, oriole, M.E. oryall ( = Lat. aureolum) , partof a wealthy house, the recess at the window of a hall or principalroom adorned with gilding, a fashion common in the East, andprobably introduced into Europe by the Crusaders; O.F. oriole, thename given to the golden thrush, N.F. loriot; o.F. orfrais ( =Lat. aurifrigiatum, or auri-phregium ¹ ) , a border of lace embroidered with gold, Ital.orpimento, F. orpiment ( =Lat. auri-pigmentum), a yellow colour, madeby mixing arsenic and sulphur; o.F.

Sterlingi a nominibus Esterlingorum nomina sua contraxerunt quihujusmodi monetam in Anglia primitus componebant. ' Stow mentions Henry III.'schapter of 1259. It is plain that the name easterling or sterling is of Englishformation, if it denoted a body of merchants who came from the east, and musthave been given them in England, for it could not have been given them inGermany. It may be assumed, therefore, that the German and Romance forms ofthe name are borrowed from the English. It seems plain also that the names weregenerally applied to coins, not to the merchants, although in the first instance it mayhave been given them, and afterwards passed to their coins. Another explanationis that a starling was engraved on one quarter of the coin. This is quoted byMinshen from Linwood, but there is no historical evidence of it.VEUS-√US-✔UES-90 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.6that theword sterlingus, esterlingus, only appears as the name ofa coin,in the sense of sterling penny, or pennyweight (' libræ sterilensium, 'Ordericus Vitalis, 1142) .

But the Europeangroup knew nothing of the soma so highly venerated in India, and it iscertain that the soma was not wine; neither the Sanscrit nor Zend have an originalname for wine, unless madhu, sweetness ( = Zend madhu, ' sweet drink ' = Greekμélv, wine) be taken as one; but this originally was applied to the drink made offermented honey—our mead. This seems to make it almost certain that the vine andits juice were not known to the Eur-Aryan people in their original home.(2) V. Hehn (Kulturpflanzen, p. 64) asserts olvos (Foîvos) to be the borrowed formof the Arabic wain. But, in addition to the entire absence of any historical evidencethat wine was a foreign introduction, and to the acknowledged fact that it wasknown at the earliest period to the Greeks and regarded by them as indigenous,Schrader objects that the name, if derived from Semite races, must have comethrough the Phoenicians, who would use the Hebrew form ja'in, whose initial j doesnot suit the Greek digamma (v or w) in Foîvos. He adds also that no satisfactorroot can be found for wain, ja'in, in Semitic languages. Renan, the great Semiti 、scholar, is also in direct contradiction to Hehn, and regards the supposed Semitewords, wain, ja'in, as loan-words from Eur-Aryan.(3) Schrader's own view (Prahist. Antiq. p. 323-4) is, that it accords better withknown facts and the linguistic view to suppose that the cultivation of the vine anduse of wine were not known to the Eur-Aryan races until after the separation. Hethinks that they first became known to the Græco-Italic people while they dweltalong with the kindred races -the Phrygians, Illyrians, Thracians, Macedonians, andArmenians (who subsequently passed over into Asia)—in the northern part of theBalkan peninsula. In the earliest times, Thrace is designated as the principal placefor the export of wine, and the worship of Dionysus prevailed over the whole northof the Balkan peninsula. Griesbach too ( Veget. der Erde, i. 323) describes thePontus and Thrace up to the Danube as the original home of the ' vitis vinifera. 'The name of the plant is a nominal form from the Eur-Ar. ✔uei-, ' to twine, twist,bond,' indicating its characteristics as a creeping or climbing plant, and the Greek andLatin names for wine, Foivos, *vei-num, are from the same root. The Græco- Latin race carried the cultivation of the vine with them to their new homes in Greece andItaly, and from thence at a later period wine was introduced among the northernraces of Europe-Teutons, Slaves, Celts-who hitherto had known only beer andmead, and therefore borrowed the Latin name for the new beverage.This derivation is given by Aufrecht and Döderlein, and seems to be approvedby Curtius; but Brugmann's derivation from sju-, to sew, is better, and, I think, the true one.2 Cp. the expressions ' tissue of falsehood, ' ' web of deceit, ' &c.• The Latins took all their chief terms connected with weaving from a root tek.as texere, to weave, textor, textura, telum, subtemen,102 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.waffel or wabe, in honig-wabe, honey- comb) , M.E. wafre, N.F. gaufrer,to crimp linen in ridges.Teutonic, O.H.G. weban, A.S. wefan, O.N. vefa, to weave, O.N. veftr,veptr, A.S. weft, wefta, the weft, A.S. owef (for on-wef) , the woof, O.H.G.weppi, wappi, N.H.G. gewebe, A.S. webb, web, A.S. webba, a weaver,A.S. webbestre, a female weaver, M.E. webster, O.H.G. wefsa, wafsa,N.H.G. wespe, A.S. weefs, weps, M.E. waspe, N.E. wasp, Provincialwaps, O.H.G. wibil, N.H.G. wiebel , A.S. wifil , wiebil, weevil.Balto- Slav. , Lith. vabalas, a weevil, O.

The Slavonic vosa,osa, Lith. vapsa, a gadfly, vabulas, a weevil, O.

(Cp.Germ. honigwabe, and wabe, a bee-cell. ) This seems not improbable, but Skeatrejects the derivation, and suggests a lost root wap-, to sting.2 For alternative and better explanation see under √siu .• It may be inferred from the equations given under ŢE- and √UE-BH- thatthe Eur-Aryan peoples had acquired some acquaintance with plaiting, spinning andweaving. Their knowledge of the latter art went no further than the use of somevery simple form of loom; and from many of the names used for loom, warp andeven for the weaver, it would appear that the earliest loom stood upright, and theweaver stood to his work: e.g. Gk. lorós, loom , oтhµwv, Lat. stamen, the warp, Lith.stākles, the loom, O.N. vef-stadr, Sans. sthair, weaver, all from the root ste-, to stand(Schrader, Præhist. Antiq. p. 330).The spelling wasp ' instead of ' waps ' (which is still used bythe uneducated)is probably due to Lat. vespa as M.H.G. vespe, N.H.G. wespe.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 103a bond, a chain, vinca-pervinca, pervinca, a kind of creeping plant,cervix, -vīcis, the neck (a compound of an obsolete Latin word ceres,but still remaining in cere-brum [ = Gk.

Skeat and others consider itan adjectival form from ✓vidh-, to empty (vi + dh from dha), with general meaning ' deprived of,' and objects to the preceding explanation that it isolates the Sans.vidhava from the cognate words of the series. The authority is very greatly in favour of the Indian grammarians; and it may be that the specific Sanscrit designation acquired the more general sense, as an adjective, of bereft.104 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.√UI- Zend, vidhava, bereft, vidhu, a widow.Greek, perhaps diá ( if vi =a mutilated form of dvi, two; whichsee), ǹí0-ɛos, unmarried, for Fní-0ɛos (?).Latin, vi-d-, in viduus, bereft, lonely, vidua, a widow, vitare, evitare,to avoid, inevitabilis, unavoidable, * vidĕre (?) , to part, in dividere,divisi, divisum, to divide; dividuus, divisible, dividus, parted; viduare,to deprive.L.

To carry on the parochial duties they deputed one of the mouks,who was called their ' vicar ' and received the small tithes in remuneration, whilethe monasteries retained the large tithes for their own use. Whenthe property ofthemonasteries was granted by the crown to the nobles and others, the latter also received the large tithes of the parishes occupied by the monks, while the clericappointed to serve them had only the small tithes and the title of Vicar as before.In parishes which had not lost the great tithes, the clergyman retained the title of rector. In parishes from which the great tithes had been alienated , the holder ofthese was called ' the lay impropriator.'

Italia is the Greek form of the name; the native Latin name was Vitelliu.Gröber denies that there was any race named 'Iraλol from whom the land wascalled. On the contrary, the inhabitants were called by the Greeks ' Iraλiñтaι, from'Iraλía. The origin of the name from Gk. ' Iraλós, Firaxós, has been disputed , and itis said to be a Phoenician name, corrupted by popular etymology, but without any evidence.' Vetare, make old, annul, repeal, forbid, is added by Vaniček tothe Latin derivatives of √uet-, presumably on the analogy of antiquari, to make old, repeal. But thesense of vetare is to prohibit what is new and strange, rather than to repeal what isold and obsolete, and the verb expressing to make old would have the already existingform, veterare. The older form, too, of vetare is votare; perhaps ve- or vo- is theprivative affix found in ve- cors, ve-sanus (cp. se-cors and so -cors ): vetare would therefore mean to renounce, repudiate, to say ve (away with it) as neg- are - to say neg.' Kluge allows the undeniable connection between the German and Romanceforms, but suggests *fidula (from fidicula, a small stringed instrument) as their common source. No such form, however, is found.• Compare Gk. Opis and 10pis: if these words are from the sameroot as eros, it wouldimply that the castration took place while the animals were yearlings. This wouldreconcile the different sense of Goth. withrus, a lamb, from that of the other Teutonicforms. But the explanation from ✔TEDH-, to cut, castrate, Sans. vadhris, castrated,is most probably the correct one. There is no real difficulty in Goth. withrus, a lamb,as castration would probably be performed while the animal was a lamb in its first year,and withrus would be used in the double sense, ' castrated ' and ' a year-old lamb.'√UET122 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.NENGLISH DERIVATIVES.Greek, Etesian, Italy, italics, a type invented by Aldo Manuzio,about 1500 A.D.Latin, veteran, inveterate, -cy, veterinary, vitelline, relating to theyolk of an egg.L.

Antiq.)observes, that marriage by capture and bride-purchase both go back to the primevalEur-Aryan age. The first mentioned was the earlier, at a time when we mustconceive the ties of neighbourhood and kinship to have been still loose, and thenomad groups of pastoral and patriarchal families to have been strange and hostileto one another. ' Marriage by capture best explains the non-recognition of any affinitywith the wife's relations, which is established by linguistic equations. While thereare several terms common to the several languages of the Eur- Aryan stock denotingthe relationship of the wife to her husband's family, there are no common terms todenote that of the husband to the wife's family.With the advance of civilisation, and a more settled mode of life, marriage bypurchase became general, as indicated by the terms referring to marriage, and passagesin early writings bearing on the subject. The process seems to have been ( 1) theapplication of the suitor to the father of the bride; ( 2) the settling the price, andcontract; (3 ) the completion , when the bridegroom took the bride to his own house.The wife being regarded in the earliest times as the servant or slave of the husband,as she had been to her own father while his daughter, the price paid was, in partat least, the compensation to the father for the loss of her services, and was retainedby him. In a more civilised age, the price paid to the father was returned with themaiden as her portion when the husband took her to his ownhome; and later still, theparents gave a dowry to the bridegroom when he married their daughter.3 Used in different senses: (1 ) as presents from the suitor to the parenis of thebride, (2) from the suitor to the bride, ( 3) by the household or the wedding gueststo the newly-married pair. The O.H.G. morgangeba, N.H.G. morgengabe, A.S. morgengifu, is said to have been originally the gift made by the feudal lord to a serf'sdaughter on the morning after her marriage, if he chose to exercise his feudal rightover her person. This odious custom has a kind of survival in the so- called morganatic marriage, which gives no legal position to the wife or her children, yet incursno disgrace.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 125Balto-Slav. , Lith. wedu, (inf. ) westi, to conduct, marry, O.

His reasons are: ( 1 ) that in the earliest timesthe wool was pulled off by hand; the practice of shearing (tondere, Kelpew ) being oflater introduction, as stated by Pliny and Varro, with regard to Italy: ' Oves nonubique tondentur; durat quibusdam in locis vellendi mos ' ( Plin. viii . 73); ⚫ Omninotonsores in Italiam primum ex Sicilia venisse dicunt post R. c. a. 454, ut scriptum inpublico Ardeæ in literis extat ' (Varr. ii . 11, 10) .

Ir. imb, Schrader (Præhist.Antiq.) has the following remark: ' It indicates that even in the primitive periodmen already knew how to disengage the fatty constituents of milk, not indeed forthe purpose of eating, but for smearing the hair and anointing the body.' Thisprimitive use of butter is confirmed by Hehn, who cites a statement of Hecatæus,that the Pæonians ' anointed themselves with oil made from milk '; and a descriptiongiven by the comic poet Anaxandrides, about 350 B.C. , of the ' dry-haired buttereating men ' who dined with the Thracian king Cotys, as though it were contrary toordinary use to eat butter instead of anointing with it. The O.H.G. anc-smero, chuosmero, O.N.smjör, butter, O. Slav. maslo (fr. mazati, to smear) butter, oil, and the Finnicand Esthonian voi, butter, from voidma, to smear, all point to the fact that butterwas used at first for anointing rather than as a food, and in India ghee (clarifiedbutter) is still generally used for anointing the body as well as in cooking. Ourword ' butter ' is from a Phrygian word, known to us only in its adapted Greek form,BobTupov, con- cheese, Lat. butyrum, Ital. burro, F. beurre, O.H.G. butera, A.S. butere(introduced about 900-1000 A.D.). While the northern peoples ( Slaves, Teutons,Celts) as they advanced in civilisation carried on the primitive process to buttermaking in the proper sense, as an article of food, the Græco-Italic races, who hadbecome acquainted with the olive, used its oil as their unguent and gave up the use ofbutter altogether.?

Murray(Phil.

See Kluge ad Giebel; but it is a question whetherthey should not be referred to ✔qhebh- and connected with O.H.G. gabāla, and theCeltic gabhal, gafl, a fork.

But if so, capitellum must have the sense of asmall sum of money or other form of property, and be regarded as the diminutive ofcapitale, which does not appear. Diez and Brachet derive cadeau from Lat. catellus,a small chain, the flourish of a writing-master in his show specimens. Cadeau wasused in this sense in the sixteenth century, and afterwards came to mean a trifle, asmall gift, a treat, entertainment. This seems a probable derivation of the word.See Brachet, Fr. Etym.

it will account for the change of meaning in cambiare and its similarity of formwith camminare, but his base kng- seems to correspond rather with the Teutonic basegang in O.H.G. gangan, to go.'

He considers thatN.H.G. kopf, is of genuine Teutonic origin, and that O.H.G. choph, chuph, at onetime had the sense of head as well as of cup, as evidenced by O.H.G. chuppha, M.H.G.kupfe, a head covering, from which Ital. cuffia, O.F. coiffe, Eng. coif are borrowed.His conclusion with respect to these words is that two sets of words may have beendeveloped, one following the line of Lat. cupa, a cask, Gk. kúπn, a cup, L.

He cites as examples of a similar extension, F. tête, head, fromLat. testa, a tile, Goth. hwairni, a skull, A.S. hwer, a kettle, Du. hersen-pan, M.E.herne-panne, the brain-pan, the head, Du. hersen- becken, the brain-cup. By the sideof this set there is another genuinely Teutonic, starting from the idea of ' top, summit,'e.g. A.S and M.E. copp, also M.E. kopf, N.E. cop, a peak, summit, to which most probablyO.H.G. choph, N.H.G. kopf belonged, also O. Sax. coppod, crested. Between these twosets there was probably a very early confusion of meaning, though in HG. itmust have been considerably later (in the fifteenth or sixteenth century) that M.H.G.kopf exchanged its old meaning of cup for head in N.H.G., and supplanted the oldword haupt, hitherto the general Teutonic form (cp. Goth. haubith. O.N. höfudh,A.S. heafod ) . The root of these last is qebh-, but for O.H.G. choph, M. and N.H.G.kopf, A.S. copp, there must have been a transposition of the aspirate, changing theroot to ✔qheb . The Century Dictionary connects M.E. choppen, chappen. N.E. chop,in some of its senses with M.L.G. and Du. koppen = N.H.G. köpfen, to cut off the head,poll, amputate. This would mean that chop is derived from a L.G. kop ( = A.S. copp),a head. Murray ( Hist. Dict. ) derives chop , chap, from an A.S. *ceappian, not found;and Skeat connects these two words with Gk. Kórтw, to cut, which is a derivative fromEur-Ar. ✔qep-, from an earlier sqep-, and explains the o in the Teutonic word by the loss of s in the older form of the root.'

A secondexplanation connects Cæsar with cæsius, blue- or grey- eyed; a third with the cæsareanoperation (cædere, to cut), which was said to have been performed on the mother ofone of the Julii, to which house Cæsar belonged. There is no evidence whatever forthis, and the moɛt probable perhaps of the three is the derivation from cæsaries.222 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.Balto-Slav. , Lith. kasau, scratch, O.

The change of the Gael. and Ir. c to the Wel. Corn. Bret. and Pictish pis due to the labialisation of the Eur- Ar. q in the latter ( cp. Gael. ceann, Ir. cenn, toWel. and Bret. peun).

Wel. pitw,minute, petty). The occurrence of L. Lat. pedica = pecia, a measure of land, a piece ofground (Du Cange, ad vb. ) , has given rise to the false etymology of pecia &c. frompes (ped is), afoot (cp. Lat. pedica, afetter, chain, and see under ✔ped-). Macbainis inclined to connect these Celtic and Romance words with the Eur-Ar. pronom.base qe- qo-, and Gael. cia, Wel. pa, who, what, and Bret. pet, how much (cp.

Lat. cocca, coccus, from a supposed resemblance of shape to a shell, but Murray(Hist. Dict. ) refers it to the Magyar word Kocsi, formerly written Kotsi. In full itshould be ' Kocsi szeker,' the cart of Coc, i.e. a cart made or used at the place calledCoc, south of Comorn, between Raab and Buda. The equivalents in other languageswere formed from this in the sixteenth century: Germ. kotschie, kutschie, Du. koets .It was rendered in L. Lat. cocius currus (1499) , kotsi currus (1526 ), Ungaricumcurrum quem cotsci vulgo vocant ' ( 1560); from the L. Lat. cocius, the Span. Port.and F. coche, with Ital. coccio, were formed. This seems to be the true explanation of coach.2 The Century Dict. refers the modern word cocoa to Gk. Koûki, the cocoa-nutpalm (Liddell and Scott) , Lat. cuci, a kind ofpalm ( Lewis and Short, Lat. Dict. ) connected with kóït, an Egyptian kind ofpalm (probably an Egyptian word) mentionedby Theophrastus. Lat. cuci is found in Pliny. It is uncertain whether these namesdenoted the cocoa- palm, but even if it were so, there is no evidence that they couldhave been known to the Portuguese. Murray derives cocoa from the Port. coco,which the Portuguese and Spanish writers of the sixteenth century agree inidentifying with cocar, to grin, make a grimace, and he denies any etymologicalconnection with concha, a shell. But if the verb cocar is derived from the nouncoco (as Lat. jocare from jocus) there seems to be no reason for disputing thederivation accepted by Diez and Skeat. The early writers from A.D. 545 to the endof the fifteenth century knew the cocoa- nut only as the Indian nut. Coquos is thespelling of the name first found in 1489 A.D.; in 1526 and onwards it is spelt coco,and referred to the Span, and Port. coco, a head, a mask, &c.• The Gaelic and Irish cogal is probably a loan-word from A.S. coccel, which, ifa loan-word from cocculus, must be referred to Gk. кóккos, grain; in this caseneither the A.S. , N.E., nor the Celtic words for tares belong to this root.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 2651in their shell; cocoa, cocoa-nut; cock-boat, cockswain (or fromCeltic), cocoon, cockle, a boat, cockle, an unevenness, rumpling in clothor paper, cockle (vb. ) , to rumple, pucker.Celtic, cockle, the weed (through A.S. loan-word?) .Eur-Ar.

English sailors for a similar reason fancied a resemblance to amonkey, and called sucking a cocoanut ( previously filled with rum) ' sucking themonkey.' See Captain Marryat's Peter Simple. This resemblance was noted at anearlier date by the Portuguese: see Pigafetta, 1598, ' The Indian nuts called coecos,because they have within them [i.e. within their outer husk] a shell like an ape.'2 √Ŕes- is probably an extension of √ke-, to sharpen.266 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.Teutonic, haid-, heid-, in O.N. heidh, clear sky (subs. ) , O.H.G. heitar,¹N.H.G. heiter, O.N. heithr, a.s. hādor, O.

Brugmann refers kalapós to Sans. cithiras, and Liddell andScott connect kalapós and heiter.The origin of the Germanic words for heath, heathen, is also disputed. Klugeconnects them with the Sans. ' kshetram for sketram, ' but the root meaning of thatword is that of possessed and tilled land, and the modern Hindi ' khet ' means acultivated piece of ground, the very opposite to the sense of heath, wild untilledland (see p. 233) .

Schraderinfers from the close agreement of the European forms that the originalname passed into the several languages by borrowing, and this may be true withregard to the Greek, Latin, O. Slav. and Lithuanian; but, with regard to the Teutonic,Kluge considers that the regular change of consonants indicates that the Teutonicforms of the word are genuine German, as there is no loan-word from Greek or Latinthat has undergone the old regular German change of sound. The original form ,however, seen in Sans. çanas has no final b, which is against his view. O.H.G.hanaf is the etymological equivalent of the Pers. kanab, and all the European names,retaining the labial termination, p, b, must be regarded as starting from the Persian.The Greek name is first used by Herodotus (iv. 74), and corresponds so closelywith the Pers. kanab, itself probably an Old Pers. word, that we may suppose it to bea Pers. loan-word. The Scythians cultivated hemp and knew its narcotic qualities; itwas also freely grown in districts inhabited by Medo- Persian races, and Humboldtregards it as having been brought to Europe from Persia.270 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.Eur-Ar. √ŽĒR √ĒṚ- √ŘĒL- √ĒĻˇ, to boil, heat, bake, cook.Sanscrit, çra- çrī-, in çrayati, boils, roasts, çrīnati (s.s.) , çṛtas,boiled, roasted.Greek, kep-, in κépaμos, potter's clay, a tile, κɛpaμikós, of or relating to pottery, knρós, wax, кnрwτń, a cerate (?)

In the Western Church repeated efforts were made to confine the administration of baptism to the two seasons of Easter and Pentecost.

Latin and Romance, Ital. querela, F. querele, M.E. querele,quarel, N.F. querelle, complaint, quarrel.6fourth century Siricius, Bishop of Rome, wrote that all Churches agreed with thatof Rome in the exclusive administration of baptism at Easter and Pentecost '; buterroneously, as many Churches baptised on the festival of Epiphany. A capitulary ofCharlemagne, 804 A.D., directs ut nullus baptizare præsumat nisi in Pascha etPentecosten.' The objections to this explanation are: (1 ) that the Dominica in albiswas not Whit- Sunday, but the Sunday after Easter; ( 2) that the real word is notWhit- Sunday, but Whitsun-day, as shown by the old name for the two followingdays, Whitsun Monday and Tuesday; there is also a mention of Whitsun farthings(Pentecostal offerings) . Dr. Neale therefore considers Whitsun a corruption from theGerman Pfingsten, itself corrupted from the Gk. Pentecost. Others, again, connectWhit-Sunday with the Welsh ' wyth, ' eight, Whit- Sunday being the eighth Sunday,i.e. the fiftieth day, after Easter. The objection to this lies in the composition of aCeltic with a Teutonic word. The true explanation seems to be that of Vigfusson.White was closely associated in the minds of the Scandivanian Christians with theirnew faith. Candidates for baptism were dressed in white garments and called by thename ' hvit-vad- ungr,' one dressed in white clothes. Hvita Kristr, the White Christ,became the favourite name of our Lord , and churches at their consecration weredressed out with white. When Christianity was introduced into Norway, Yule,Easter, and Pentecost, but especially the two last, were the great seasons forbaptism, Easter being preferred; hence the Octave of Easter was called Dominicain albis. But in Norway, owing to the greater cold of Easter, Pentecost seems tohave been the appointed season, and the festival week was called ‘ hvita-dagar,' thewhite days, Hvitadaga-vika, White-day week, while the day of Pentecost had thename of Hvit-Drottinsdagr, the White Lord's- day, i.e. Whit- Sunday. The name that at last prevailed was Hvita-sunna-dagr, Whit- Sunday, i.e. White- sun-day. WhitSunday itself was called Hvita-sunna-dagr, White + Sun-day, the day of the WhiteSun, or the White Sunday, and the week Hvita-sunna-dags-vika, Whitesunday's-week.The Norse name was probably adopted from the A.S. Hvita-sunnandæg, WhiteSunday, M.E. hwite-sunedei, which, in naming the season and the week, wasshortened for convenience sake to Whitsun-, as in Whitsun-tide, Whitsun-week, andlater to Whit-, as in Whit- Monday for Whitsun-Monday. This contraction set in atan early date, as we find in Layamon ' whitesune-tide ' and even ' whitesune- dei .' Itmay therefore be considered established that Whit- Sunday is derived from A.S.hwit, and means the White Sunday, and that Whitsun- and Whit- now in generaluse are only contracted forms of Whitsunday.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 295Teutonic, A.S. hweos-an, to wheeze, O.H.G. hwispalon, M.H.G. wispeln,N.H.G. wispern (orig.

This latter derivation is now generally accepted.•2 Murray observes of such variants as crack, crash; clack, clash; smack, smash,&c. , that they originate from the instinctive attempt to imitate variations of thesound indicated by an original word, and cannot be regarded as subject to phoneticrules. Probably, however, clash, crash, smash, are originally inceptive forms ofclack, crack, smack; -sh represents the Eur-Ar. -sk.• The etymology of this word, cravand, is obscure.

Lat. *crepantare (from crepant[ em] , pr. p. of crepare, to rattle, also to break);but the want of the final é in cravand is against this view (see Murray's Hist. Dict.ad vb. ). Skeat regards cravand as the regular Northumbrian form of pr. p. of M.E.crauan, but used in the place of the O.F. creant, M.E. creaunt, to which the sense ofrecreant was sometimes oddly attached (see Skeat ad vb. ).EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 307Fr.), originally denoting a party engaged to applaud a favourite actor=claque, a band of claqueurs; cliquish, -ism, -y.Teutonic, crack, creak, croak, corncrake, cracker, cracknel,crackling, crackle, croaker, crash; clack, click, clank, clink, cluck,clash, crave, craven (?); clap (vb. ), clapper, tongue of a bell, clapdish, a wooden dish with a lid carried by leprous beggars from the lazarhouses to give warning of their approach, and to receive alms: cp.Holinshed, 1577, ' The poor Lazer sicke people of the Magdalen,whose custom was with a clap-dish on everie Market daie to resort& come to the markets, and there to beg.'

Foxe, Book ofMartyrs,still uses ' harlots ' of men ( sixteenth century) , but the Authorised Version, 1611 , ofprostitutes. The Century Dict. regards Skeat's explanation as unlikely. Körtingsuggests a possible connection with hariolus, soothsayer, the transition of this meaning to ' a vagabond ' being easy, Ital. arlotto = ariolotto. This is doubtful, and thecorrect explanation of the word is still wanting.1 Fick (fourth edition, ii. 106) gives a double sense to ad-gaur, ' convenio ' and' fascino.' Ad-gaur, in the first sense, may be placed under ✔ger-, to approach,assemble, but in the sense of ' fascino,' to enchant, bewitch, fascinate, as givenby Lewisand Short, it comes nearer to preceding ✔ger-, to chant &c. ( cp. Lat. incantare, toenchant). Corssen connects fascino with Baokalvw, to slander, use spells, bewitch,which is commonly regarded as from Eur-Ar. bhē- ( = pŋ- in oîμɩ, I say, Lat. fa- infari, to speak). Curtius, however, rejects the irregular change of Eur-Ar. bh- to 8before vowels, and Corssen's explanation seems therefore uncertain, as Prellwitz also admits.2 What makes this derivation doubtful is ( 1 ) the irregular change of vowel:creodan would give, regularly, 3rd sing. pres. t. crydeth, p. t. cread, with 3rd. pl.crudon, and p. p. croden; (2) that the primary meaning of A.S. creodan seems to beto press, push on, drive.EUR-ARYAN ROOTS. 309Eur-Ar.

Their origin, therefore, must be regarded as uncertain. Stokes and Bezzenberger, however, regard the Celtic words as loanwords from Teutonic. The double sense of the Dan. and Fris. words seems to favouran identity of origin for calf of the cow and calf of the leg, unless they are transposed forms of one or other of the Teutonic words expressing a cleaving or splitting off.√GERBH-√GRBHGREBH-326 EUR-ARYAN ROOTS.GERBH bergs breaking off from a glacier, or of a portion of a rock or cuttingGRBH- falling in.

Although the process of churning was known before the tenth century, asindicated by the Old Teutonic name for the churn, O.N. kirna, A.S. cyrnan, to churn,yet the butter so made may have been clarified and used more as an ointment, or incooking, than as an article of food, as ghee in India, and the introduction of the newname marked also the spread of the new use (see note p. 158).2 Cp.

It was as such that they seem to have been regarded by Homer, who tells oftheir destruction by the gods for their insolence. Hesiod considers them as divinebeings who sprang from the blood of Uranus ( the God of Heaven) which fell upon theearth when he was wounded by the Titans, so that Gaia (the Earth Goddess) wastheir mother. Their battle with the Olympian gods seems to be a confusion withthe revolt of the Titans.

The derivation from ğher-, a doubtful variant of √ğer-, to rub, wear away, grow old, would suit both the form and the sense better; see note below.2 Cp. Fick's derivation of herus, heres, given under Es-os. This one from✔her- is more generally adopted , but the older forms ĕrus and ĕsus are againstit, and Fick's explanation of the word given under Es-os seems to me the true one.3 It is probable that hēres is unconnected with herus from the difference ofvowel quantity, and Planta suggests connection with the Oscan heriiad '; if this beso, hēres, hērēdis, will be a derivative of an obsolete Lat. verb *hērēre, to take, andmust be referred to ✔gher-. Prellwitz connects heres with Gk. xĥpos, left alone,bereaved, xhpa, a widow, and makes the primary sense an orphan who succeeds to hisfather's property.
