planation of the extraordinary 

 extent to which transposition and 

 substitution among those radical 

 and servile elements are carried. 

 It is likewise true that these ele- 

 ments and the words resulting 

 from them are less flexible and 

 mutable than among the Arian 

 tongues. But it is by no means 

 generally or strictly true that 

 "all the words are invariable." 

 On the contrary, the words, whe- 

 ther consisting of monosyllable 

 roots, or of such roots and their 

 servile adjuncts, are constantly 

 subjected to changes, which are 

 clearly systematic, which belong 

 alike to the radical and servile 

 particles, and which may be sum- 

 marised as follows : — 



1st by aspiration, as Khi for Ki. 



2nd by change of vowel, Ko, Ku, 

 Ke, Ka for Ki. 



3rd by intercalation of y, Khyi for 

 Khi. 



4th by metastasis, ain for nai, voce 

 ear, &c. 



Kwi root = Ku-i. 



f These are compounds of the two 

 J preceding words — a sort of terms 

 ] very common in all countries 

 L wherein many tongues prevail. 



The root varies from Cha to Che, 

 and Sa to Se to Si, to Shi. The 

 suffixes have occurred too often 

 to call for further remark in this 

 place.
