 \nBut some words must be noticed which seem to be a set offagainst us.Do is a Latin word—4ü is not found in Greek,andyet the word △áow is:△úow therefore must be referred to theLatin Do.—Not so:for,as Iλnpóow is from Iλngów,so Aúσwmust be from a verb △ów,the contracted and therefore not primaryform of which is △w,Do.The fact is,that the Latin languagewas an early product from the Greek,and therefore adopted forniswhich were early in use in that language,but afterwards fell intodisuse.△ów,4,fell into disuse,and △i8uμi and △óσxw were usedinstead of it.In fact the old word ów belonged to a class of GREEKwords Δáw,△w,△w,△ów,Δw,which signified separation anddivision,and △ów signified to give,from the idea of distributing.“Distributing to the necessities of saints,”is an expression in ourBibles:and the Latin Partior and Impertior are from Pars,Partis.So again Tueor is to be referred to a word which produced TiTóo究co—to a word Tów,which belonged to aclass of GREEK words Táw,Téw,Tiw,Tów,Túw,which meant to stretch forth or extend.TheReader will remember a passage in Virgil,which combines themeanings ","cbCaii92EgSKSxzQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii92EgSKSxzQ","pdf",51877728,570,"English","# PREFACE\n## Connection between Latin and Greek\n## Latin as daughter, Greek as parent\n## Responses to counterarguments\n## Notes on additional word comparisons","[{\"question\":\"What relationship between Latin and Greek does the preface argue?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that Latin is connected to Greek not as a sister language but as a daughter, based on etymological tracing of Latin forms back to Greek roots.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author support the claim?\",\"answer\":\"By comparing many parts of speech, including prepositions, numbers, pronouns, nouns, and verbs, and showing corresponding Greek forms or reconstructed roots.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the preface address objections about Northern languages?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
