not of primitive germs from which English words are derived in a 

 line of direct descent, but of similar forms in which similar ideas 

 have been clothed by different members of one human family. It 

 is not to be expected that the points of resemblance should strike all 

 alike, or that all should agree as to the relative value of different 

 portions of the list, but it is proper that the compiler should indicate 

 his own estimate of the comparisons which are merely accidental, as 

 well as of those which he considers most striking. This is done by 

 printing the most important words in small capitals, and using the 

 mark (A.) to indicate what is supposed to be purely accidental.
