Accent 



With regard to the accentuation of Grsecized Latin words, it followed the analogy of 

 the Greek language ; that is, the Greeks accented such words as if they were of Greek 

 origin ; thus, Traiunus, TpaCavo's, Augustus, Avyovaro^, Cicero, KiKepcov, sccrctum, a-rjKprjrov, 

 after the analogy of such words as SapBiavo';, i^aKovaro^, ^Axepav, appijrov. 



§ 31. 



We must not omit to mention that during the Eoman period the Latin adopted from 

 the Greek a large number of words and idioms. But here we must distinguish 

 between words originally common to both these languages (as ego, eyd>, t u , tv, 

 pater, Trar^p, mater, iJniTrjp, ovum, avov, o v i s , ofk, v i n u m , Fotfo?), and such 

 as were introduced into Latin by scholars, after they had assumed a definite form on 

 Greek ground (as angelus, ayye\o<;, prothymia, -irpodviila). 



Further, the educated Romans, afiecting to be fascinated with the pretty sounds of 

 T and Z, adopted these letters into the Latin alphabet.^' They even introduced the 

 fashion of pronouncing Greek proper names with their Greek accents. From the

 similia.
