The resources of Language for the formation of new words, by the possible euphonic combination of elementary sounds, is as nearly infinite as any particular series of combinations usually called infinite; all such series having their limitations, as in the case of the different orders of the Infinite in the calculus which are limited by the fact that there are different orders. Yet, notwithstanding that this inexhaustible fountain of Phonetic wealth exists directly at hand, none of these resources have ever been utilized by any scientific arrangement and advice. Only so many verbal forms as happen to have occurred in any given language, developed by the chance method, in the Greek, for instance, are chosen as a basis, and employed as elements for the new verbal formatives now coming into use with such astonishing rapidity in all the sciences. For instance, let us take the consonant combination _kr_ (or _cr_), and add the following series of vowels: _i_ (pronounced _ee_), _e_ (pronounced _a_), _a_ (pronounced _ah_), _o_ (pronounced _aw_), _u_ (pronounced _uh_), _o_ (pronounced _o_), and _u_ (pronounced _oo_); and we construct the following series of euphonic triliteral roots: Kri (Kree) Kre (Kra or Kray) Kra (Krah) Kr_o_ (Kraw) Kr_u_ (Kruh) Kro (Kro) Kru (Kroo). Let us now add the termination _o_, and we have the following list of formatives: Kri-o (Kree-o) Kre-o (Kra-o) Kra-o (Krah-o) Kr_o_-o (Kraw-o) Kr_u_-o (Kr_uh_-o) Kro-o (Kro-o) Kru-o (Kroo-o). Of these verbal forms only two occur in any of the well-known Southwestern Languages of Europe, namely, _Creo_, I CREATE, of the Latin, Italian, etc., and _Crio_, I REAR, of the Spanish. The other forms are entirely unused. Of any other simple series of Euphonic combinations, such as Phonetic art can readily construct, there is the same wasteful neglect, and, in consequence of this total failure of the scientific world to extract these treasures of Phonic wealth lying directly beneath their feet, they are driven to such desperate devices as that of naming the two best-known and most familiar order of fishes, those usually found on our breakfast tables, _Acanthopterygii Abdominales_, and _Malacopterygii Subbrachiati_; and the common and beautiful bird called bobolink is _Dolichonyx Orixyvora_. For the same reason--the entire absence of any economical and systematized use of our phonetic materials by the scientific world--the writer found himself, recently, in attempting certain generalizations of the domain of science, stranded almost at the commencement, upon such verbal shoals as _Anthropomorphus Inorganismoidismus_; and the subsequent steps in the mere naming of discriminations simple enough in themselves, became wholly impossible. The urgent necessity existing, therefore, for the radical intervention of Science in the discovery of true principles applicable to the construction of its own tools and instruments, can hardly be denied or questioned.
