this work. Professor J. N. REUTER has been unwearied in giving me information on the subject 
of Aryan philology. My friend and former pupil Dr. HARRI HOLMA has directed my attention 
to several points of etymology and has kindly read some of the proofs. 
& I wish also to express my gratitude to the Societas Scientiarum Fennica for allowing my 
work to be printed by Mr. AUGUST PRIES in Leipzig, so well known for his Assyriological prints. 
This arrangement has undoubtedly been advantageous as regards typography, but the remoteness 
of the place of printing has not been without its inconveniences for the author and has delayed 
the printing which began as early as January 1912.
