WALTER W.'^SKEAT, M.A. OF CHBISl'S COLLKaE, CAUBBISQE. Honlron anb iaeio g^oxli: MACMILLAN AND CO. 1871. [All Rights fesenied.'] A./6ff, {^ PREFACE. The words here brought together are not always alike in significa- tion, but merely cognate in the sense of being referrible to a common root. In some cases, the relationship is doubtful, but the reader can cancel these for himself; Curtius should, however, be first consulted. More examples might have been added from other sources, but the present are sufificient to shew the general nature of the changes in spelling that are of most frequent occurrence. The English words cited are nearly all of Teutonic origin or form ; it is useless to insert a word like cooh, borrowed directly from Lat. coquus. Words marked with an asterisk (*) may be found in Bosworth's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, and were seldom used after A.D. 1200. Words marked with an obelus (f) may be found in Halliwell's Archaic and Provincial Dictionary, and are now obsolete or provincial. For the connection between English words and the Mceso-Gothic words cited by Curtius, see the List in the Appendix to my Moe^o- Gothic Glossary. The following are the commonest letter-changes at the heginning of a word : — ENGLISH. LATIN. eHEEE. EXAMPLES. B F * Bear, fero, ^ipm. C, K, CH G r Chin, gena, yew; ; kin, genus, ycVos. D F Door, fores, 6vpa. P P n Fell, pelKs, ireXXa. G (H) X Goose {/or goonse), anser, xv^- H K Heart, cor, Krjp. T D A Ten, decern, bcKa. TH T T Three, tres, rpeh. W V lost Wine, vinum, otvos. Within a word, the English n is sometimes dropped, as in goo{n)se, too{n)th, du{n)st ; I and r are sometimes interchanged, and (especially the latter) sometimes shift their place ; compare thrill with the old English thirl. Greek frequently loses the initial s, though its place is often sup- plied by a rough breathing, as in If, six. The old English (Anglo-Saxon) h is no longer used before I, n, and r ; hence hlinian, hMd, hnit, hreaw, hriddel, hring, are now written lean, lovd, nit, raw, riddle, ring. ENGLISH INDEX.
