Besides this singular conformity 

 in the Hebrew and Welsh languages, 

 the latter has also in many respects, 

 a near resemblance to the Greek. 

 Many of the words that have the 

 same signification, have the same, or 

 nearly the same sound in each. Their 

 articles, pronouns, prepositions, and 

 affixes, are frequently alike. The 

 verbs generally agree in the form of 

 their inflexions, and often in the 

 identity of sound. It is conjectured 

 that with more than half the words 

 contained in I'arkhurst's Lexicon, 

 there are words in the Welsh lan- 

 guage that have the same sound and 



Greek: 



Welsh. 



English. 



If the W^clsh language had its ori- 

 gin in the Hebrew, of which, all 

 circumstances considered, there can 

 be little doubt, this analogy betwixt 

 the Welsh and Greek is only M'hat 

 might be expected. 



'I'he ancient Welsh manuscripts 

 contain as many as thirty-eight dif- 

 ferent letters or characters. These,

 the consequent introduction of the
