* Compare "Take." The pronominalization of the Vayu verbs prevents a good 

 deal of that difficulty which the Turanians generally experience in famishing simple 

 equivalents for the words 'give' and 'take,' because the genius of the languages 

 exacts on all occasions a risrid attention to the results of action, the objective as 

 well as subjective results. Different roots or different modifications of the same 

 roots must necessarily convey the idea involved in each case. 



t See remark at buy. The result of taking is appropriation by self. Hence 

 the intr. verb. The words give and take might alone suffice almost to prove the 

 unity of the Turanian languages.
