78 GROUNDS FOE ASSIGNING MEANINGS. 



terms Abstracts and Concretes or Abstracttids and Gon- 

 cretoids will be found specially appropriate as directly 

 indicating the Grand Fundamental Distinction in 

 ' Ontology between " The Abstract " and " The Con- 

 crete' with which these Sounds are, by inherent 

 analogy, in strict accord, and which they will be used 

 throughout the Structure of the New Universal 

 Scientific Language to represent. The remaining 

 unusual terms, Statoid, and Motoid, Singuloid, and 

 Pluraloid, Inorganicoid and Organicoid, Cardinoid and 

 Ordinoid, involve so much of detail that it will not 

 be appropriate to explain them here. They do, how- 

 ever, in part, explain themselves. 



114. To exhibit in detail all the grounds upon 

 which these Particular Meanings are assigned, as in- 

 herent, to these several Sounds of the Alphabet, would 

 require a Volume as large, perhaps, as the whole of 

 this Synopsis. For want of space, the statement of 

 these reasons must be very greatly condensed here. 

 They are partly Analogical, partly Analytical, partly 

 Synthetical, and partly Cumulative or fieflectiu . 



115. The Analogical proof is that which results 

 from such considerations as were presented in a 

 preceding chapter;' from the fact, in other words, 

 that, Language being a Minor Universe, or an 

 Epitome of the Universe, in its Gknerals, it should, 

 also, conform in its own Distribution to the Distribu- 

 tion of the Universe itself down to the minutest de- 

 tails; and hence that the Elements of /Speech should, I?/ 

 a strict A PRIORI reasoning, answer, item for item, to the 

 Onioloqical Elements of the Universe at large. (Ch. III.)
