VIII. — Connection between Teutonic Emjlish and Greek. By 

 Edward J. Ciiinnock, M.A.. LL.B. 



The object of this paper is to show the connection between 

 Greek and English proper, as it existed before it came into contact 

 with speakers and writers of the classical languages of Rome and 

 Greece. In a former paper I made a list of between 400 and 500 

 words, cognate or akin in Latin and Teutonic English, and in this 

 I give a similar list of between 300 and 400 words, having the 

 same roots in Greek and English. The ancestors of both Greeks 

 and English belonged to the same original stock, and spoke the 

 same tongue. The Indo-European family of languages is divided 

 into eight groups : — 1, Indian Languages; 2, Iranian or Persian ; 

 3, Hellenic or Greek : 4, Italic or Romanic ; 5, Teutonic ; G, 

 Celtic ; 7, Sclavonic ; 8, Lettic. The Teutonic group is divided 

 into three branches:—!, Low German; 2, High German; 3, 

 Scandinavian. The English belongs to the Low German, and the 

 modern German to the High German division. For the conveni- 

 ence of those unacquainted with Greek letters the words are 

 printed in ordinary Roman type. Abbreviations : — L., Latin ; 

 A.S., Anglo-Saxon, or Old English.

 noun, seen in me; eimi = esmi; L., sum=esum.
