FOOTNOTES:
[1] And this opinion was the cause of the omission in the First Edition.
[2] See Sweet, History of English Sounds, p. 17.
[3] As pronounced, _e.g._, in Dutch _gaan_. This sound does not now
exist in English.
[4] This factor in the change of language (which has only recently
received investigation) cannot here be dwelt upon, as readers who have
not studied phonetics would be unable to follow the argument. Such
should at once endeavour to obtain at least a mastery of the elements of
phonetics, without which they cannot possibly understand many of the
problems with which we have here to deal, and all should then read the
very interesting article on _Phonetic Compensations_, by C. W. Grandgent
and G. S. Sheldon of Harvard University, in Modern Language Notes, June,
1888, No. 6, pp. 177-187.
[5] For further instances, see Skeat, Principles of English Etymology,
p. 376.
[6] A similar transference is observable in γέρανος, γρῦς, and in words
in modern languages expressive of the same idea; cf. also _corvus_,
which means a raven, a grapnel, a battering-ram, a surgical instrument,
and a sea-fish.
[7] See Marsh, English Language, in Students’ Series, lect. iii., pp.
55-62, with note on p. 64.
[8] See the discussions of the examples below. The ‘various’ meanings of
these words there given are mostly ‘usual’ ones. Whenever a speaker
utters any of these words in the body of his discourse, the word has
only one of the various ‘usual’ senses. The use of the word ‘body’ in
this very note may serve as illustration of an ‘occasional’
signification of a word with sundry ‘usual’ meanings.
[9] Vid. Murray, p. 1257.
[10] A more definite and unmistakable instance of a word acquiring a
concrete sense would be, ‘He raised his arm, and, with outstretched
_hand_, exclaimed, etc.’
[11] Murray, p. 898.
[12] Shakespeare could not gain currency for his _forgetive_, nor Bishop
Wilkins for his ‘_unwalkative_ cripple.’
[13] Cf. Whitney’s Life and Growth of Language, pp. 27, 28.
[14] Other examples are _fera_, _thier_, _deer_; γυνή, _queen_, _quean_;
and the modern Greek ἄλογο(ν) (the unreasoning animal), for ‘a horse.’
[15] Skeat, English Etymology, p. 257.
[16] In some cases the termination comes from the French _-eur_; and in
this case, too, the same remarks apply. Cf. also the words _butler_ =
_bottler_; _usher_, _ostiarius_, etc.
[17] So termed from the white streaked face of the animal. Gael. _broc_,
O. Celtic _broccos_. Cf. Murray, Dictionary, i. v.
[18] Bain’s ‘English Composition,’ p. 23.
[19] Similar instances are _Capability_ Brown, _Satan_ Montgomery.
[20] Cf. Rowland’s Grammar of the Welsh Language, 4th edition, (Wrexham,
Hughes), p. 23, § 132, where more instances, and also some from
Armorican, are cited.
[21] Raoul de la Patisserie: De la Psychologie du Langage. Paris, 1889,
pp. 22, 41.
[22] So again, ‘brung’ can often be heard from children, and in German,
‘gebrungen’ appears as a humorous form, probably in imitation of an
original blunder.
[23] Cf. Studies in Classical Philology, No. II., B. I. Wheeler:
Analogy, and the Scope of its Application in Language (Ithaca, N.Y.,
1887), p. 7. Much of what follows is taken from this little work, which
contains an admirable discussion of analogy, besides a highly useful
bibliography of the subject. See also Jespersen’s article in the
Internationale Zeitschrift für Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft, Zur
Lautgesetzfrage, (1886). Professor Wheeler, however, ranges under
‘Analogy-formation’ much that we should prefer to consider separately
under ‘Contamination.’
[24] The personal influence, or ‘magnetism,’ of the speaker or speakers
who engender the ‘mistake’ is also an important element in determining
its propagation. We, parrot-like, imitate the speech, like the manners,
of some more readily than of others.
[25] Cf. C. Goeders, Zur Analogiebildung im Mittel-und Neuenglischen.
(Kiel, 1884.) Dr. Goeders has collected an enormous mass of illustrative
material. Some of his examples, however, may not prove as new as he
thinks. Our posterity will be able to decide this point if Dr. Murray’s
Dictionary has made greater progress than at present. This apprehension,
however, does not detract from the value of Goeders’ work, nor from the
truth of the proposition which he illustrates.
[26] Henry, Étude sur l’Analogie en général et sur les Formations de la
Langue Grecque. Paris, Maisonneuve, 1883.
[27] Professor Almkvest kindly informs us that there are rules about the
grave accent in the Swedish, but that they are difficult to investigate.
The grave accent, as it occurs in Swedish, is quite peculiar, and
nothing similar exists in other languages.
For instance, the first syllable in _brä́der_ (pl. of _brä́de_ = board)
and _sånger_ (pl. of _sång_ = song) has the accent, but is musically
lower than the second syllable, which has a feeble secondary accent, and
is musically higher. This is different--in contradiction to _breder_
(pres. of _breda_ = to spread), where the first syllable has the accent,
and is musically higher than the second syllable, which is quite without
accent.
It is the first-named pronunciation, _brä́dè_, _brä́dèr_; _góssè_ (a
boy), _góssàr_, which has nothing corresponding to it in other
languages.
(_a_) Short treatises for practical use:--
_Sweet_: On Sounds and Forms of Spoken Swedish (1½ pp. about accent), in
_Transactions of the Philological Society_, 1877-79.
_Schwartz and Noreen_: Swedish Grammar: Stockholm, 1881; (4 pp. about
accent, mostly practical).
(_b_) Scientific works--
_Lythkius and Wulff_: About the Rules of Sounds and Signs in the Swedish
Language, and about the Accent; Lund, 1885; 460 pp. (in Swedish).
_Koch_: Philological Researches about Swedish Accent; Lund, 1878; 211
pp.
_Paul_: Grundriss der German. Philol., vol. i., abschn. 5, pp. 417,
etc.: Geschichte der Nordischen Sprachen, von Noreen (gives the
historical cause for, and explains the growth of the grave accent).
[28] Byrne, Principles of the Structure of Language, p. 475.
[29] Cf. Spencer, Philosophy of Style.
[30] On the sense in which the words _concrete_ and _abstract_ are here
used, see Chap. IV., p. 45.
[31] Mason’s English Grammar, p. 149, note.
[32] Cf. Zumpt, Lat. Gr., § 609.
[33] But cf. _Quisnam hoc fecit?_ in Latin, by the side of _Si quis hoc
fecit_.
[34] Thus, in French: _Ma fille l’aimerait?_ (Duval); _Vous n’avez nul
remords?_ (Delavigne); _Ces messieurs viennent de Paris?_ (Picard).
Latin: _Clodius insidias fecit Miloni?_ (Cicero, pro Mil., xxii.).
[35] Thus, in French: _Richard député, pourquoi pas?_ (Dumas); _Rien de
Monsieur le duc de Richelieu?_ (Dumas).
[36] Similarly, in French: _Quoi tu connais l’amour et tu n’es pas
humain!_ (Ducis).
[37] We must not forget that these terms are here used in the very
widest sense, and not in the limited meaning of ordinary grammar.
[38] See pp. 119, fol.
[39] This symbol is somewhat different from the one employed by
Professor Paul, which is (_a_ + (_b_) + _c_). Though we think the one we
have chosen is rather more simple, the other is not difficult to
understand, as symbolising the result of combining (_a_ + _b_) with (_b_
+ _c_). If, instead of two similar sets of brackets, different ones were
used, say {_a_ + [_b_} + _c_], the meaning of what now appears as (_b_)
might be clearer still. Professor Paul uses _a_, _b_, and _c_ as
indicating three different _parts_; we use three letters for three
parts, but make two letters alike, because two of the three parts have
the same _function_. Cf., later on, for our symbol of the second case,
page 119.
[40] Paul (_a_ + _b_) + _c_. See note on p. 110.
[41] Not to be understood as if it were English: _A couple, who lived
... vexed_. See the next example.
[42] See Skeat, s.v. _book_.
[43] A good collection of examples will be found in Sweet’s Anglo-Saxon
Reader, introd., p. lxxxvii.
[44] Cf. Mätzner, iii. 202.
[45] Cf. Koch (ii., p. 95), who cites a number of examples.
[46] See Vocabulary to Beowulf, by Heine, under _standan_, _gangan_,
_lácan_, etc., and their compounds. Also Koch, ii., p. 3, verbs from
A.S. which are transitive and intransitive, e.g., _winnan_, to fight;
_fleogan_, to fly; etc.
[47] See King and Cookson, Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin, p.
177.
[48] Mason’s Grammar, p. 107.
[49] See Zumpt, § 428.
[50] Fiedler and Sachs, ii. 273.
[51] Numerous instances are given in Hodgson, p. 105, and in Mätzner,
vol. iii., p, 80.
[52] A strict attention to this difference would involve the
transference of some of Professor Wheeler’s examples, in his admirable
pamphlet on Analogy, to the head of ‘Contamination.’
[53] ‘Synonymous’ must here be understood in a wide sense, embracing
sets of words which, though really distinct in meaning as well as
origin, become confused, and consequently become synonymous merely by
misunderstanding (see our first example).

_bake_ with _batch_; _wake_, _watch_; _break_, _breach_; _speak_,
_speech_; _stick_, _stitch_. Cf. Murray, Dictionary, s.v. _ache_, upon
which the discussion of the above example is based.
[63] Of course, Anglo-Saxon is not _derived_ from Gothic. The
Anglo-Saxon forms are of common origin and cognate with Gothic, but not
derived from them.

[82] In O.Fr. we find _baer_, Prov. _badar_, ‘to open the mouth,’
properly speaking to ‘utter the sound _ba_;’ _bouffer_, from a French
interjection _buf_. The word _piquer_ comes from an interjection
representing the sound uttered on giving a prick, _pic!_ Other examples
are O.Fr. _glapir_, ‘to bark;’ _ronfler_, _miauler_, _chuchoter_,
_caqueter_, _toutouer_, _vonvonner_, _pouf_.
[83] Heb. _hóshí’ a_, ‘to save,’ hiphil (_i.e._ active causative) of
_yásha’_; and _ná_, a particle signifying entreaty. (Skeat, Etymological
Dictionary, s.v.)
[84] _Halelú_, ‘Praise ye,’ (from verb _halal_,) and _jáh_, short form
of _Jahve_ = _Jehovah_. See ibid., s.v.
[85] The relation of sound to meaning in _gee-gee_ is, _for infants_, no
clearer than between _horse_ and its meaning. This offers the best proof
of the conventionality of much nursery talk.

Savages, in Techmer’s Internationale Zeitschrift, vol. i., p. 193.
[87] The latter, the formation of new groups, forms the subject of the
next chapter.
[88] I.e. the _sound_ of _g_ was replaced by the _sound_ of the (vowel)
_y_; the _spelling_ varies, as is shown by the given instances.
[89] The _á_ and _í_ have here the acute accent to indicate _length_ of
the vowel, not the _stress_ or ‘accent.’
[90] Mätzner, i., p. 380.
[91] Cf. Fr. _chez_ = (in) casis.
[92] We choose this term in preference to ‘reaction,’ which, in the
physical sciences, has a specific meaning not applicable here.
[93] And by the expectation thus created of the regular occurrence of
such differentiation between past singular and past plural, even where
this ablaut did not show different vowels.
[94] Thus says Professor Skeat, Etymological Dictionary, s.v.; others
maintain that it is due to Northumbrian preservation of _a_, which in
the South became _o_.
[95] Professor Skeat (Principles of English Etymology, p. 411) draws a
useful distinction between _homographs_ and _homophones_, or words
spelled alike and those sounded alike. For our purpose, as students of
the spoken language, the homophones alone are of importance. A homograph
is commonly, but not invariably, a homophone; cf. ‘I _read_ now’ and
‘Yesterday I _read_.’ We need not here further consider such vagaries of
English spelling.
[96] It is unnecessary to point out in the text that we must bear in
mind that French nouns or adjectives are almost always derived from the
accusative case as representative of the oblique cases. For the full
explanation of this see Brachet’s Grammaire Historique, Introd.
[97] See Skeat, Etymological Dictionary, s.v. _settle_; Stratman, s.v.
_sahtlen_.
[98] Skeat, Principles of English Etymology, p. 410.
[99] Or rather Fr. _(je) cesse_. Just as, in the French language, we
must explain most nouns from the Latin accusative form, so in English
most of the verbs which we owe to French can only be explained by the
‘strong’ forms, _e.g._ first person singular of the present tense; as
_complain_ from _je complain_, and not from _complaindre_; _to despise_,
O.Fr. _tu despis_, not infinitive _despire_; _to prevail_, _je prévail_,
not _prévaloir_; _to relieve_, _je (re)lieve_, not from _relever_; _to
acquire_, _j’acquier_, not from _acquérir_.
[100] See Skeat, s.v.
[101] It appears that this, and not _Billy ruffian_, is the form used by
sailors. It would thus seem that _Billy ruffian_ is a further popular
etymology, due to ‘scholars.’
[102] See Palmer, Folk Etymology, s.v.
[103] This derivation is given in a certain well-known SCHOOL edition of
Milton’s Comus: _liquorice = something which makes one lick one’s lips!_

vowel sound.’

[128] That ‘carriageable’ is a very unusual word does not matter at all,
the point is that it _is_ formed and that it _cannot_ be derived from a
verb.
[129] What follows is almost entirely taken from the article in Murray’s
Dictionary dealing with the suffix. Our excuse for reproducing it is the
unavoidably high cost of the work, which places it beyond the reach of
the ordinary student, so that a mere reference to it would be useless;
and, secondly, that we believe that in Murray’s otherwise admirable
treatment of the subject, one not unimportant side of the question has
been overlooked. To avoid misunderstanding, we ought perhaps to assure
the reader that what we give is not simply a copy of the article in
question; this will appear to any one who will take the trouble to
compare the two. Our object being different, we lay more stress upon
some points which are less material to Dr. Murray; we, however, use his
facts, and wish to acknowledge our indebtedness.
[130] The number in brackets behind these words gives the date of the
earliest quotation found for their use in Murray’s Dictionary.
[131] It will help us to realise the strength of the ties which united
these groups, if we remember that the modern pronunciation of the
ending, _tion_ as _shun_ is really quite modern, _i.e._ that, formerly,
the _ti_ was in such words pronounced as _tea_ and not as _sh_. The verb
_abject_ consisted therefore of the first two syllables of the noun
abjection, WITHOUT ANY ALTERATION.
[132] A carefully compiled list of _all_ forms in _ation_, past
participles in _ate_, verbs in _ate_, found in Dict. Murray, sub. let.
_A._, has given the following results:--
Forms in _ation_ 219. Of these the first instance belongs to the
fourteenth century in 11, fifteenth in 26, sixteenth in 49, seventeenth
in 76, eighteenth in 23, nineteenth in 34 cases.
Among the 219, the form in _ation_ is the _only_ one in 89 cases,
distributed over the same centuries as follows,--fourteenth, 2;
fifteenth, 9; sixteenth, 10; seventeenth, 31; eighteenth, 15;
nineteenth, 22.
There are 138 verbs in _ate_, 20 of which stand alone. Distribution:
fourteenth century, 0; fifteenth, 4; sixteenth, 53 + 7; seventeenth, 53
+ 13; eighteenth, 13; nineteenth, 15.
Of all cases where we find both the noun in _ation_ and the verb in
_ate_, the noun is older in 74 and the verb in 34 cases. It seems plain
therefore that we may say that in English the verbs in _ate_ are in very
many cases formed from the nouns in _ation_, and that both are chiefly
due to the sixteenth and the seventeenth centuries.

[141] _Shoal_, the substantive from A.S. _scólu_, meaning either ‘a
school’ or ‘a multitude’ (see Skeat, s.v.), seems to have been used
convertibly with _school_, and indeed, the meaning of _shoal_ has
survived in the fisherman’s phrase a ‘school of mackerel;’ while the
adjectives _shoal_ and _shallow_ likewise had the same meanings; but
they have become so far differentiated that the latter form alone can be
employed metaphorically; as when we say, ‘a man of shallow intellect.’

[148] In Hungarian, the plural ending is _-k_. But many nouns are
thought of as collectives, and have no plural. And if the noun be
preceded by a numeral, or by an adjective or pronoun of quantity, it
does not take the plural form unless the number embraces the whole; as,
_tiz apostol_ (ten apostles), but _á tizenket apostolok_ (the _twelve_
apostles). In the former case, the individuals are thought of
_indefinitely_, and so the sense of the individual is weak; in the
latter case, _definitely_, and therefore it is strong. Byrne, Principles
of the Structure of Language, vol. i., p. 435.

[154] In a sentence like _I am going out; I thought you were_, even the
past tense refers to future.

(Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, 366), etc.
[156] Cf. Earle (Philology of the English Tongue, p. 536), who cites
these phrases as provincialisms to be heard in all classes of society in
Yorkshire. Every careful speaker will agree with him in deeming them
“one of the finest of our provincialisms.”

[159] See Mätzner’s Fr. Gr., p. 176, for more examples.
[160] It is altogether unimportant that, in the case of such a sentence
as the one which we took for our example, the ultimate result, as far as
the understanding of the meaning goes, makes practically very little, if
any, difference. Thus, we teach a child that three times five and five
times three are the same, because the ultimate result of bringing
together three fives or five groups of three each is identical. Still,
no one will deny that, for correct conception of the operation, there is
an important difference between--
..... ..... .....
and-- ... ... ... ... ...
or maintain that the understanding of this difference is of no
importance for the theory. Nay, even in practical life there would be a
great difference between going thrice, _e.g._, to fetch five apples at a
time, and making five journeys for three apples each time. Yet every one
admits that 3 × 5 = 5 × 3 is a ‘truth’ generally quite ‘true enough.’
[161] _Is_ rather than _am_ here, to symbolise the sense of _I_ as
predicate.
[162] It would be worth investigating--a question which only the most
extensive statistical collection of earlier examples of this
construction could decide--whether the very extensive use of this
construction in English is not due to, or has not been at least promoted
by, the existence of the so-called pronominal prepositions in Welsh, and
their construction. The personal pronouns are used in Welsh as suffixes
to the prepositions: _e.g._, prep. _at_ = to; _ataf_, ‘to me;’ _atat_,
‘to thee;’ _ato_, ‘to him;’ _ati_, ‘to her;’ _atom_, ‘to us;’ _atoch_,
‘to you;’ _atynt_, ‘to them;’ _imi_, ‘to me;’ _iti_, ‘to thee;’ _iddo_,
‘to him;’ _iddi_, ‘to her;’ _ini_, ‘to us;’ _ichwi_, ‘to you;’ _iddynt_,
‘to them;’ etc. (Rowland’s Welsh Grammar, §§ 374-381). These forms were
used especially in relative clauses; _e.g._, instead of--
Y cyfaill at yr hwn yr afonais lythyr,
_The friend_ _to whom I-sent letter_,
we might say more elegantly--
Y cyfaill yr hwn yr afonais lythyr ato.
_The friend whom I sent letter to (him)_.
Similarly--
Efe yw’r gwr yr ysgrifenaist ato.
_He is the man thou wrotest_ _to (him)_.
Rhoddwch i’r hwn y cymmerasoch oddi arno.
_Give_ _to whom you took_ _from (him)_.
Even the present occasional (and vulgar) repetition of the pronoun is
found:--
AR yr hwn y gwelwch yr ysbryd yn disgyn ac yn
ON _whom you see the spirit (in) descending and (in)_
aros arno
_remaining_ ON (_him_).
A careful study of the translations here given will enable even one who
has never seen any Welsh to judge of what is at least a possibility;
viz., that our construction began with the relative clauses, and is,
even in its present more extensive use, a remnant of Celtic origin.
[163] The grammatical and the psychological distribution, however,
differs. Grammatically: subject, ‘I;’ predicate, ‘asked;’ etc.
Psychologically: subject, ‘I asked him;’ predicate, ‘after his health.’
[164] Compare ‘the tother,’ _e.g._ in Wycliffe, Matt. vi. 24; ‘love the
tother,’ which took its rise from ‘that other.’ The word ‘ewt’ also
survived under the form _eft_.

[192] Cf. Skeat, Prin. Eng. Etymol., p. 395, from which and from his
Dictionary most of these ‘obscured’ compounds are taken.
[193] Forms like _fur-booted_, _blackeyed_, etc., do not, of course,
belong here. They are derived, with the suffix _ed_, from compounds or
groups like _fur-boot_, _black eye_, _eagle eye_, _cone-shape_, etc., or
formed by analogy to such derivatives. Some, indeed, are true compounds,
but then the second element is an adjective and not a past participle.
In that case they should be ranged under the compound formed from two
adjectives.
[194] The great importance of this distinction will be shown later on,
see page 324.
[195] It will be noticed that most of these formulative groups are
alliterative.
[196] See Skeat, Etymol. Dict., s.v. _Jack_.

[198] For the disputed derivation, see Whitney and Skeat, s.v.
[199] The student should note the difference: in the Old High German the
article is _nominative_; in our English translation it is _genitive_:
‘the man’s son’ = ‘_a_ son of _the_ man.’
[200] It is, of course, not intended to say that this very combination
was thus formed. It is an example to illustrate the process, and no
more.
[201] Quoted by Earle, p. 493.
[202] Cf. M. Müller, Sanscr. Gram., § 249, which we here transcribe: The
comparative is formed by _tara_ or _îyas_; the superlative by _tama_ or
_ishtha_. These terminations, _tara_ and _tama_, are not restricted in
Sanscrit to adjectives. Substantives such as _nri_, ‘man,’ form
_nritamah_, ‘a thorough man;’ _strî_, ‘woman,’ _strîtarâ_, ‘more of a
woman.’ Even after case-terminations and personal terminations, _tara_
and _tama_ may be used. Thus, from _pûrvâhne_, ‘in the forenoon,’
_pûrvâhnetare_, ‘earlier in the forenoon.’ From _pachati_ ‘he cooks,’
_pachatitarâm_, ‘he cooks better,’ _pachatitamâm_, ‘he cooks best.’
[203] Cf. also the (unusual) construction: ‘Geoffrey was not a religious
when he wrote this play’ (Ward, Hist. Drama, p. 5, note), and ‘one more
unfortunate’ (Hood).
[204] Mätzner, iii. p. 222.
[205] It will be noted that in these examples, the more they are usual
the more they appear as compounds, and the less clearly and definitely
we feel the force of the first noun as adjectival; cf. a _maiden over_
with a _maiden speech_.
