"We are not to wonder at this analogy of sounds in the primitive distinction of languages. For before the use of writing, which has established the correct form of words, people were only guided by the ear in taking the sound of words, and they pronounced and uttered them again as the organs of their voice were best fitted for it; and it happening that the aptitude and disposition of those organs, peculiar to some people and countries, were various (as we find to this day some nations cannot shape their voice to express all the sounds of another's tongue,) it accordingly affected and inclined some parties of people to speak the same consonants harder or softer, to utter the same vowels broader or narrower, longer or shorter, as they found themselves best disposed to do. And thereupon custom prevailing with particular sets of people, to continue the use of such different pronunciation as they affected, the words so varied came at length to take on them different forms, and to be esteemed and taken as parts of different languages, tho in their origin they were one and the same.[132] _Hebrew._ _Derivatives._ _English._ Auch Awch _Brit._ The edge of a sword Even Maen A stone Agam Lagam _Corn._ A pool or lake _or_ Leagam Ivah Deis-yfu _Br._ To desire Auor Awyr Lightened air Ano Yno Then Achei Achau Brethren or kindred Aedenei Gwadnau The soles of the feet Calal Cyllell To wound or pierce Domen Tomen Muck or dung Gehel ---- Coal Sâl Sâl _Br._ Vile or of no account Kadal Gadael To forsake or desist Aggan Angeion _Greek_ A vessel or earthen pot Alaph 'Alpho[=o] To find Bama Bo[=o]mòs An altar Hag Agios Holy Hadar {Cadair _Br._ Honor or reverence {Katha _Irish_ Hia Y hi _Br._ She Goph Corph A body, corpse Deraich {Braich An arm {Raich Dad Diden _Br._ The dug or udder Ager Aggero _Lat._ To heap together Elah -Illi, illæ They, _masc. & fem._ Angil Axilla The arm pit Dapsh Daps Cheer or dainties Hen En! ecce!
