NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 200. 



Lad and Lass (Vol. vii., p. 256.). — Lass, 

 Hickes (quoted by Lye in Junius) says, was 

 originally written, and is a corruption of laddess ; 

 thus, we may suppose laddess, ladse, lass : and lad 

 may correlate with the Gr. 07*7^?, a leader, so 

 familiar to us in the sneered at -psiA-agogue, i. e. 

 the hoy-leader. The lad, from the Anglo-Saxon 

 Icedian, to lead (says Junius), is the lecid — " One 

 who, on account of his tender years, is under a 

 leader, a guide, a director." 



We apply the [common expression " Pie is yet 

 in leading strings " to him who has not strength or 

 courage to go alone, to act independently for him- 

 self. Q. 



Bloomsbury. 



Enough (Vol. vii., p. 455.). — Enough was not, 

 and is not always, nor was it originally, pro- 

 nounced enuf. The old way of writing was 

 "ynou, inouh, ynowgh;" and in Gower, enough is 

 made to rhyme with slough, i. e. slow or slew, the 

 past tense of slay. Mr. Wright will find this to 

 be so by looking into Richardson's quotations. 

 The word, he will see also, Avas from very early 

 times written, as still not unfrequently pronounced, 

 enew or e7iow. Q.
