Some have even gone so far as to say that "omelette" comes from "_omeilaton_" because "_meli_" in Greek signifies honey, and "_oon_" an egg. In the "Garden of Greek Roots" there is a more curious derivation still; it is pretended that "_diner_" (dinner) comes from "_deipnein_," which signifies supper. As some may be desirous of possessing a list of the Greek words which the Marseilles colony may have introduced into the language of the Gauls, independently of those which came through the Romans, we present the following one: Aboyer, perhaps from _bauzein_. Affre, affreux, from _afronos_. Agacer, perhaps from _anaxein_. Alali, a Greek war-cry. Babiller, perhaps from _babazo_. Balle, from _ballo_. Bas, from _batys_. Blesser, from the aorist of _blapto_. Bouteille, from _bouttis_. Bride, from _bryter_. Brique, from _bryka_. Coin, from _gonia_. Colère, from _chole_. Colle, from _colla_. Couper, from _cop to_. Cuisse, perhaps from _ischis_. Entraille, from _entera_. Ermite, from _eremos_. Fier, from _fiaros_. Gargarizer, from _gargarizein_. Idiot, from _idiotes_. Maraud, from _miaros_. Moquer, from _mokeuo_. Moustache, from _mustax_. Orgueil, from _orge_. Page, from _pais_. Siffler, perhaps from _siffloo_. Tuer, _thuein_. I am astonished to find so few words remaining of a language spoken at Marseilles, in the time of Augustus, in all its purity; and I am particularly astonished to find the greater number of the Greek words preserved in Provence, signifying things of little or no utility, while those used to express things of the first necessity and importance are utterly lost. We have not a single one remaining that signifies land, sea, sky, the sun, the moon, rivers, or the principal parts of the human body; the words used for which might have been expected to be transmitted down from the beginning through every succeeding age. Perhaps we must attribute the cause of this to the Visigoths, the Burgundians, and the Franks; to the horrible barbarism of all those nations which laid waste the Roman Empire, a barbarism of which so many traces yet remain.
