The above selected examples are sufficient to indicate the nature of the modifica- 
‘tions which Swedish words have suffered on their incorporation in the Finn lan- 
guage. The author has collected and classified every Swedish word in the Finn 
language under three general heads, viz. (a) unchanged, (8) changed, and (y) 
greatly changed in form. ‘he several means adopted to bring Swedish words to the 
Finn form were briefly described. 
The existence of such words as— 
Indo-European. Finn. English.

and others equally like, suggested a careful study of Finn words in relation to those 
of the Indo-European languages. The result of this comparison was the discovery 
of a large number of Indo-European roots which appear to have suffered modifica- 
tions precisely similar to those which the Swedish words have undergone. The fol- 
lowing specimens are sufficient to indicate the nature of this discovery :—
