We sec from the preceding tabic, tJiat whenever the connexion of an 
English or German word with the corresponding Celtic is natural and organic, 
the mute or mutes which it contains must differ in a certain regular w'ay from 
those of the Celtic word, there being Englbb th and German d instead of 
Celtic t ; English t and German s (tJ) instead of Celtic ft ; German i or th 
instead of Celtic and English <1^ and so on. And if, therefore, we now find 
English aird German words corresponding to others in the Celtic, without 
exhibiting these regular features of difference, we cannot be mistaken in 
cniicludiiig that ihetr relation to the Celtic U not natural and organic, but 
one which has arisen through accident As examples of this class of words 
in the two languages, I shall rocutum the following, several of which it will 
be seen were already introduced into the Gothic and Anglo-Saxon. 
Enfflish, to takf, Anglf>‘iiaxon, tac-axii tek-an : from Gaelic, tagh 
tango, r»}. 
Eng. to tread; Modern German, tret-cn; Gothic, trud-an; A.-Sax. tred-an: 
from Welsh, iTod‘, /rw/<, troidh (/wa).

iMt, tempus, rificvoi. 
Eng. tower; A.'Sax. tiirr; M. G. tburm: from Welsh, twr— Lot, turris.
