Soiior, " a sister," Cum. Chwaer, Corn. Hor, the Latin form without the termina- 

 tion, Germ. Sch wester. Italian Suora, where the aspirate still seems to have a 

 place. But this head is inexhaustible. 



Soes, Sortis, Sortes, " lot, chances." That which falls out, id quod accidit, Cum. 

 Syrth and Swrth, " a fall, a lot, a chance," from the verb Syrthio, to fall. In 

 Corn. Swrth would be written " sort."
