170 Elementary Principles of 



forms the biliteral ^^ (CE) which denotes : CiRcularity, or 

 in-CuRvation. So that in this bihteral the significant ^ exerts 

 its ideal character, I. 



Hence we have the Greek XoPos-, TvFos, and KiPkos ; as 

 also XsiP, which in Hebrew is 5]3 ; the Latin CiRca, and 

 CiRcum, and the English CiRcle and CuRve. 



This biliteral (ID) also denotes, cutting round, or amputat- 

 ing; (so the Greek JJeFi, signifies CiRcum, and IY?iaj, to Cm^; 

 and CaRve as well as CuEve is derived from ID). See Table

With the formative letter T) affixed, the bow-letter forms the 

 biliteral f)^ (CT), which is expressive of smiting, CuTting, or 

 HiTting. So that in this biliteral, the significant D exerts its 

 ideal character HI, [See Table.] 



Hence we have the obsolete Greek form KoTreo;^ (and, from 

 a figurative application of the idea, KoTsw ;) the Latin CceDo 

 and CuDo, and the English CuT and HIT. 



With the formative letter 1£f prefixed, the bow-letter forms the 

 biliteral ^l^ (SC), which is expressive both of restricting (H.), 

 and of infixing, or piercing with a sharp or cutting instrument, 

 (IH. 1, a, b, c.) ; so that in this biliteral, the significant D exerts 

 its ideal characters IL and IIL [See Table]. 



Hence we have (as used in the former of these imports), the 

 English CheCk; and (as used in the latter of these imports) 

 the Latin SeCo. 



These are the principal biliteral derivatives of the bow-letter. 

 There are some others which may be briefly enumerated. 



With the aspirate H affixed, (which is here merely formative) the 

 bow-letter forms the biliteral HD, which is expressive of rigidity, 

 firmness, [H. 3. a. see Table.] So that, in this biliteral, the 

 significant D exerts its ideal character H. 



With the formative D affixed, the bow-letter forms the biliteral 

 P (CN), which is expressive of fixing, establishing, making 

 firm, [H. 4. see Table]. So that, in this biliteral, the significant 

 D exerts its ideal character H. 



With the formative H, the bow-letter forms the biliteral HD 

 (CE), which is expressive of restriction. (It is also a particle 

 of restriction, as D is also when it occurs alone as a prefix to 

 a word, or when it is followed by the formative ^ as ''J (CI).
