New Dictionary Of The History Of Ideas Vol 3

Excerpt from Etymologicon Universale; Or, Universal Etymological Dictionary, on a New Plan, Vol. 3: In Which It Is Shewn That Consonants Are Alone to Be Regarded in Discovering the Affinities of Words, and That the Vowels Are to Be Wholly Rejected; That Languages Contain the Same Fundamental Idea; And That They Are Derived Form the Earth, and the Operat

The Consonants in the Second Class C, D, G, J, K, Q, S, T, X, Z, familiarly pass into each other in the ordinary operations of Language. The Grammarians have observed, that K, G, Ch, (k, I, X,) pass into each other, and that T, D, Th, (t, A, pass into each other; and that S, 2, is a letter of its own kind, Litera sui generis, but they ought to have seen from their own examples, that they all pass into each'other. In Tasso, or Tatto, etagon, Taxo, tetac/za, Tao'a'w, Ta'r'rw, gta'you, raga), Te'raxa, we have Tas, Tat, Tag, Tax, Tach, or without the Vowel, we have the forms ts, tt, tg, tx, tch relating to the idea of arrangement, and we see, how S, T, G, X, (where X, or E is ks, gs, chs, 35, kg', 703 km) and Ch are changeable into each other. In Frazo, efradon, Fraso, pefraha, (dpagw, ecppabov, ¢paaw, 7tg¢paka, we per ceive how 2, (or ds, sd, g, et 03 Dorice,) D, s and x, or 0, when pronounced hard, are changeable into each other. Thus we see, how the Letters in the two Classes K, G, Ch, and T, D, Th become united, and are Cognate, or Commutable with each other. The Letters Z, X, and S, we see, must likewise be added to the same Class. Similar facts appear in the Latin Verbs. Thus C is changed into X, ct, by a general analogy, and sometimes into S, T, as dico, dixi, dictmn, parco, parsi, parsum, sarcio, sarsi, sartum - D into S, rado, rasi, rasam G into X, and CT by a general rule, rego, rexi, rectnm; and some times into S, as mergo, mersi, mersum; Q into Xand ct, oo'qno.
