12. Mast, the name for the fattening substance, then applied 
to its parent tree, when on board a ship, Mastbaum, or simply 
mast, may find in remote climes and ages such relatives whose 
family likeness shall be a labial joining a dental, or s. Thus

compared to the és in Dyas, which occurs thrice (1 Kings, iv., 
Es. i., and Proy. xv.). Both these substantives find no deri-

- followed by ¢, d, will be more common, futter, food, &e.,
