REMARKS ON THE LETTER U.
'
in the Ii'ish, wherein words consisting of vowels alone are very frequent. Nor s Monsieur Bergier's own language destitute
of words of such a frame: the eau, water, is an ohvious proof of it, amon; ;st many others. I should rather join in
opinion with the learned and judicious author of »hc treatise on the mechanical formation of languages, who reckons the
\-owels amongst the radiciil .Íinirm^ ^f ;ill words. Their heing comrautahle t ith each other should not deprive thera of
that privilege, no more
N, many of which are equally interchangeahle, and promiscuously used. Before
we have done with the
the nominative case sin:
i'marli, that words beginning with a vowel, being of the masculine gender and of
lie letter C as a prefix, when preceded by An, as &\\ c-AtiA]\Aije, uachdaraighe, a. uppermost, top-
