They are likewise represented as the original inhabitants in the native legends collected by Moses of Chorene. 36 Plato, Cratyl. p. 410 A. It is remarkable that these words are also in the German language. Πῦρ (see Grimm’s Deutsche Grammatik, vol. I. p. 584, 2d ed.) in ancient High German was _viuri_, in Low German _für_. Κύων, _canis_, _hund_ (_d_ added as in μὴν, μὰν—Phrygian for _moon_—and _mahnd_, _mond_). Ὕδωρ, in High German _wazar_, in Low German _water_; the digamma is present the genuine Phrygian form βéδυ, which, on account of ancient vicinity, was also a Macedonian and _Orphic_ word (see Neanth. Cyzicen. ap. Clem. Alexand. Strom. V. p. 673. Jablonsky de Lingua Phrygia, p. 76), and is sometimes translated _water_, and sometimes _air_. Lastly, the Phrygian inscription in Walpole’s Memoirs, especially the words ΜΙΔΑΙ ΛΑϜΑΓΤΑΕΙ ϜΑΝΑΚΤΕΙ, prove that it had a great resemblance, both in radical forms and inflexion, with the Greek. 37 Thus the verb _sum_ keeps in the Armenian or Haicanian the same fundamental form which it has in all the languages allied to the Greek (_yem_, _yes_, _e_—_sum_, _es_, _est_). And it is remarkable, that the three Phrygian Greek words noticed in the text have been likewise preserved in the Haicanian: πῦρ is _hur_ (as πατὴρ _hair_, πéντε _hink_); ὕδωρ, _tschur_ (as θερμὸς tscherm); κύων is _shun_.
