Alwato is the One Language for the whole World, discovered to exist in the Nature of Things, and awaiting development merely, by the exertions of man ; as music always existed in the same sense, although there was a time when no science of music was known. The various peoples of the earth had imperfect systems of music, however, even then : and these were analagous with the naturismal languages, (English, French, German, etc.,) now ex- tant in the world. The One Alphabet for the Whole World (see adver- tisement at the end of this Grammar), is the proper initiation to The New Education ; not only for its own value and uses, as the means of writing and printing all languages, English and Alwato included, phonetically, that is to say correctly, but as the best sample of alphabetic knowledge generally. (Other things besides language have alphabets). The English Standard Pho- netic Alphabet may be substituted; and even the notes on pro- nunciation, in this Grammar, will suffice. What — the persou fresh to the subject will ask — will it profit me to study Alwato ? A hundred times more than it is possible to tell you ! until by its study you discover immense needs in your mental constitution, and power to communicate, which you do not now suspect, and which will he revealed to you by this study. Nobody thinks accurately - , except in Mathematics and Logic.

PRIMARY GRAMMAR. The several parts of speech and grammatical definitions are substantially the same in Alwato as in the naturismal languages. THE ARTICLES. The Indefinite Article is ' a ' or ' an ' (before a vowel), the same as in English Note on pronunciation. — The vowel ' a ' is to be carefully pro- nounced ah ! or like ' a ' in father. The Definite Article is ' el ' (or ' il ') freely reduced to the single letter 4 1.' which blends in with the previous or following words, .according to euphony. Note on pronunciation. — The vowel ' e ' is pronounced like the name of i a ' in English, (the first letter of the alphabet), like ey in obe^, and like French e. The vowel ' i ' is pronouuced like ee, or like ' i ' in pique, machine. NOUNS SUBSTANTIVE. Besides being Common and Proper, the nouns have also Gender, Number and Case, (as in other languages). The Gender is purely natural, as in English ; based on sex or the absence of sex. The usual masculine termination is 4 o '•; the feminine, ' a,' and the ending for common or indifferent gender, ■ u ' ; as man,o, a man ; man,a, a woman ; and man,u, folks, (men and women, indifferently). The Neuter Gender has no special ending. Note on pronunciation — The vowel ' o ' is pronounced as usual in English ; the vowel ' u ' like oo in fool. 6 THE PRIMARY GRAMMAR The Number of Nouns Substantive is Singular and Plural, (and also Collective). First Rule. — The plural is formed, as in English, by adding ' s/ as fit, fits, (feat, feats), if the final sound of the word is a thin consonant (k, t. p ; (;, th ; sh, s, f ) ; except that c, (tch), sh, and s, not readily assimilating a following ' s,' an ' e ' is first added which brings them under the Second Rule. Second Rule. — The s, to form the plural, changes to z when the word ends with a vowel sound (a, e, i, o, u, etc., or with a thick consonant sound — g, d, b • j, dh ; zh, z, v) ; except that j, zh and z, not readily assimilating a following z, -ez is added ; thus, nmn.dz. men; man.az, women; robz, robes ; bajez, badges. Note on pronunciation — The type c is used for the tsh-combi- nation of English, as in \v\fch. It the type is not at hand, use tsh instead. Th sounds as in th\ah, and sh as usual in English ; dh is used for the English th as in thy. The collective terminations are -io, -sma, and -smo ; or -zma and -zmo, as man,io, mankind. The Case of Nouns is very simple, but very varied and effective. AH case-relations may be denoted by independent prepositions, as is almost uniformly done in English ; as, by the house, on the table, etc. ; but if a case termination is preferred it is made by simply annexing the appropriate preposition, a* a post ~ position, to the noun ; sometimes inserting the vowel 'i' between * them for euphony, or as a connective ; thus raan,o,ki, of the man, man o,tu, to the man, man,o,ku, from the man ; Jon,i.ki, Johns, of John, etc. (See the prepositions.) . In this manner the number of cases of the noun is only limited by the number of simple prepositions, such as can be easily an- nexed to other words. ADJECTIVES. The Adjectives, as in English, have no grammatical agreement ; that is to say, they undergo no changes on account of the changes OF ALWATO. / of Gender, Number or Case of the Nouns to which they belong They have merely, therefore, Degrees of Comparison. COMPARISON. OF THE ADJECTIVES. The usual ending for the Positive Degree is -so, which may be contracted, when equally agreeable to the ear, to ' s ' ; as da,so or das, good; ga,so or gas, bad. The Comparative and Superlative Degrees are then, permissibly, formed as in English by -erand -est, or simply -r and -st, (as da,er or dar, better, da,est or dast, best,) but, more regularly, the vowel is placed after the consonant (or consonants,) making the more regular endings to be -re and -ste, as da,re, da,ste, better, best. Often, however, the Positive Degree has no distinctive termination, thus, tal, tal.re, tal,ste, tall, taller, tallest. The separate words in or and most, (or mo,re, mo, ste), may also be used like more and most in English, to form the Compara- tive and Superlative Degrees, and are especially convenient if the adjective has several syllables. THE NUMERALS. The Numerals, Cardinal and Ordinal, are as follows : Cardinal. Ordinal. 91, (un, or -n) one. cit, (citso or ciso) first. twi, two. twit, (etc.) SECOND. tri, THREE. trit, THIRD, kwi, FOUR. kwit, FOURTH. kwin, (4 and 1) five. kwint, fifth. tritri, (3 and 3) six. tritrit, sixth. tritrin, (3 and 3 and 1) seven. tritrint, seventh. kwikwi, (4 and 4) eight. kwikwit, eighth. 8 THE PRIMARY GRAMMAR kwikwin, (4 and 4 and 1) nine. tinti, ten. tiuci, ELEVEN. tintwi, twelve, etc. tent;, twenty. tenti,ci, twentyonk, etc. ta-nti, thirty, (a as in man). tanti, forty (a as in ah !) funti, fifty (u as in uh). fonti, sixty (o like aw). tonti, seventy, (tone-ty). „ tunti, eighty, (too::-tv). tiunti, ninety, (tune-ty). tainti, a hundred, (tine ty). fointi, a thousand, (toy»n-ty). taunt 5 , ten thousand, (tah-oon-ty). tintaunti, a hundred thousand. tintinti, (for tintintaunti) a million. kwikwint, ninth. tintit, tenth. tin^it, eleventh. tintwlt, twelfth. tentlt, TWENTIETH. teuti,Clt, TWENTYFIRST. ta nilt, THIRTIETH, tantit, FORTIETH. t'Untlt, FIFTIETH, tontir, SIXTIETH, tontlt, SEVENTIETH, tuntlt, EIGHTIETH. tiuntit, ninetieth. taiutit, one hundredth. t-ointit, one thousandth. tauntit, a tenthousandtr. tintauntit, a hundred [thousandth. tintintit, a millionth. -:0:- Uns or cis, once; twis, twice; tris, thrice, etc.; ing, but come after Past (or spik,u,a,ka.) ) Tenses. IMPERATIVE MODE. 1st. Person, spik,u,yo, let me speak. 2nd. Person, splk or spik,i, speak. 3rd. Person, spik,u,ro, etc. let him speak, etc. Remember, that the additional tense-ending '-ta - changes any form into the Passive Voice. There are no Irregular or Defective Verbs in Alwato. The verb of being (am, is, are, was, etc. — the verb to be) has 'I ' for its root, and needs to be partly conjugated, on account of its irregularities in English, all of which disappear in Alwato, thus : Eh Yo i,i, (permissibly pronounced yo, yi), lam. Vo i,i, thou art. § Ro i,i, he is Ru i,i, they are w J Yo i,a, (permissibly pronounced yo ya,) I was. *A,ia, crossing, as of rays in the pupil of the eye ; or of the nerves at the Punctum Vitas ; Decussation (of delicate or ab- stractoid lines.) (Concretoid.) To^ia, aggregation, clod, earth ; a Oneness of Concreteness. To-dh,\&, crossing or decussation of trunk or shaft-like objects; saw-horse arrangement. 3.

OF ALWATO. 23 Note. Students, by the aid of this little Grammar alone, can be- gin, at once, to write and speak Alwato. As Alwato adopts the words of all languages, the English student has only to take Eng-. lish words, spelling them as they sound, by the aid of the letters as given and used in this Grammar; and, throwing out the auxi- liary Verbs, do, have, has, shall, will, would, etc., use the Verb- endings of the Paradigm of Conjugation (p 15), instead. New- ly coined roots, and improvements of old words by slight alter- ations, he will learn afterwards.

The Special Sciences, Arts, Trades, Accomplishments, etc. fill in the Middle Ground between these extremes j and must be sought by each person according to opportunity, uses and taste. Note. The small works are purposely sold at relatively high prices, to procure a fund from those who buy, for the publication of numerous similar sheets and pamphlets, most of which must inevitably be dis- tributed gratis, during the earlier stages of the pro- mulgation of the new science. The Alphabet of Philosophy is the Essence of 5000 Vol- umes stewed down, into 4 pages. It is of course difficult and should be read and re-read, after intervals, many times. c -c m c <■ • «:: < CK iti- . , ■ '
