REMARKS. 



The pronounH are among the oldest words in every language. 

 Consequently, if in two languages the pronouns are found to 

 have strong marks of resemblance, we may safely conclude that 

 those two languages are akin to each other. Such marks of 

 resemblance may be found by comparing the Greek and the 

 English personal pronouns together. Thus the Greek ryw, 

 through the Latin ego, is clearly the English I (also the German 

 tch and the French je). Look at the Greek accusative /M, the 

 Latin me, and the English me. Again, compare the Greek ov, 

 the Latin tu, and the English thou ; also the accusatives, 

 namely, at, te, thee. The i (the c aspirated and so made he) is 

 obviously our he. 



Similar remarks may be made with regard to the numerals. 

 Obviously in structure, as well as in individual numbers, the 

 Greek numeral system is the same as our own. 



The student, if he has well attended to these lessons, may now 

 rejoice in having made some considerable progress ; and the 

 progress he has made he may in a measure estimate by the com- 

 parative ease with which he has just read passages from the 

 Greek New Testament.
