[3] No. xix. p. 255, "Another ancient and extensive class of

languages, united by a greater number of resemblances than can well

be altogether accidental, may be denominated the Indo-European,

comprehending the Indian, the West Asiatic, and almost all the

European languages."

[5] The vocative is not strictly speaking a case at all, for it

stands outside the syntax of the sentence. It was originally an

exclamatory form consisting of the bare stem without case suffix. In

the plural the nominative is used to supply the lacking vocative

form.

Salomon Reinach's _L'Origine des Aryens: Historie d'une controverse_

(1892). Max Müller's latest views are contained in his _Biographies

of Words and the Home of the Aryas_ (1888). See Schmidt's _Die

Urheimat der Indogermanen und das europäische Zahlsystem_ (1890).
