In Vol. vii., p. 455. there is an inquiry respecting the change in the
pronunciation of the word _enough_, and quotations are given from Waller,
where the word is used, rhyming with _bow_ and _plough_. But though spelt
_enough_, is not the word, in both places, really _enow_? and is there not,
in fact, a distinction between the two words? Does not _enough_ always
refer to _quantity_, and _enow_ to _number_: the former, to what may be
_measured_; the latter, to that which may be _counted_? In both quotations
the word _enough_ refers to _numbers_?
