102 KAUVIO. 



189. The Counterparting term is kauvio, The Spe- 

 cial, (technically The Specialismus ; or the Domain of 

 Special and Exact Limitation, or Discriminations, or 

 of Speciality. The Particular Sciences are called 

 Specialities and their Professors Specialists.) Kauvski 

 is Specialogy. It is within this that Spencer begins 

 his distribution of the Sciences into 1. THE AB- 

 STRACT, 2. THE CONCRETE, and 3. THE ABSTRACT-CON- 

 CRETE Sciences. Shaupski is Abstractologij (Logic 

 and Mathematics), s3ta!*ski is Concretology, and 

 mblaufiski, Abstract-Concreiolor/y. This last term is 

 nearly unpronounceable in itself, but it implies in its 

 Composition these Special Sciences 1, Mlauski Chem- 

 istry (in a Special Aspect named Jauski, Monadol- 

 ogy), 2. Blauski Mechanics, and 3. Fauski Physics 

 of which three it is sgmewhat arbitrarily composed. 1 



1 The awkwardness of the word in such instances is not the fault 

 of the new language (Alwato), but one of its chief cxaUcnces, for it 

 reveals by the incongruity of the Sounds so brought together the 

 corresponding incongruity in the classification of the subjects them- 

 selves. Yet, there may be reason and convenience (in some very 

 general aspects of Classification) which would furnish names es- 

 sentially uneuphonious. The words may still serve as a visible 

 notation for things too heterogeueously allied to comport any 

 better single naming ; or, the effort to pronounce such words may 

 serve as a vocal gymnastic; or, finally, their very incongruity may 

 serve as the most effective criticism on a classification which would 

 demand such namings, as a lingual vote, so to speak, against it, 

 and perhaps as a means of banishing it from popular acceptance. 

 But if it be desirous to retain the particular class, other and more 

 euphonious designations can always be devised by changing the 

 principle of Comminution: thus Shauso-zlianbski is a literal Al- 

 \vas.> translation for Abstract-Concretology. (S;v, also, other works.)
