Paul Egede's dictionary and grammar (cf. below) has been of the 

 greatest importance for all subsequent investigation of the Greenlandic 

 language. When he was 13 years old, he came with his father to 

 Greenland (1721). He was in Greenland twice, and spent 14 years there 

 in all, during which time he acquired the language of the natives to 

 perfection. He often lived with them for months at the time in sor- 

 didis et squalore obsitis Barbarorum tentoriis (Preface to Lectori 

 Benevolo, p. 5). — Sufficit mihi glaciem in hoc tam difficili argu- 

 mento primum frefjisse et aliis viam monstrasse (ib. p. 7).
