Grammatical and Etymuloijical A nalysis of Genesis I. IS 45sauil (sun), O.N. sol (sun), Lith. sdule (sun). To the same rootbelong soillse (brightness), soiUsich (enlighten), suil (eye),= *svali and W. haul (sun). Cf. Curtius' Grundz., p. 541, amiKuhn's Ztschr., xxi., 428.Ann (there):=0. Gael, and, an adverbial locative of the article(cf. above), with initial s of the stem *sanda dropped. SeeBeitr., iii., 272. For loss of initial s in Gaelic cf amail = samail.4. " Agus chunnaic Dia an solus gu'n robh e math ; agus chuirDia dealachadh eadar an solus agus an dorchadas."Chunnaic (saw), is 3rd sing. pret. ind. act. of the irreg. verbfaic (see). Chunnaic ^ chonnaic (cf G'Don.'s Gramm., p. 223)= con-faic, of which con = Lat. con and faic (Ir. faicim) = f-aci= O. Gael, aci = add (videt) = ad-ci, the pref ad and the verbci, in 1st sing. pres. ind. cm = *cesiu (vowel-flanked s havingdropped out) from the root cas (to see) cognate with Skr. rootcaksh (to see) and cakshus (eye). From the same root come Ir.cais (eye) = *cas-ti, imcasti (consideranda), and renicaissiu(providentia). Cf Kuhn's Ztschr., xxi., 424. The / of faic andfaca is prosthetic, as in fan (stay), /ds (grow), and fdinne(ring).Gu'n (couj. that, ad quod). This conjunction is the prep.gu (to), in O. Gael, co = *cot, cognate with Gr.

Ro = Lat. pro, initial2) being dropped according to rule. This pref. is, therefore,I'adically connected with the prep, air compared above.-E" (he, it) is the 3rd per. pron. sing, mas., in 0. Gael, e andhe. The fem. was s; and the neut. ed. These forms correspondexactly to Goth. mas. is, fem. si, and neut. itu. Cf also Lat.is, ea,id.Math (good) is also written maith = *mati, O. Gael. pi.maithi. The Gaulish form of this word, matos (cf Teuto-matus),shows that it is not connected, directly at any rate, with Lat.raltis = *moitis, of which the regular Gael, representative isancient inoith (soft, tender). Mid. Gael, maeth, Mod. Gael, maoth.For Lat. % = oi, cf. vinum and Gr. ohoi — Foivo's and vicus =oIko^ = FoiKoi. Dr. Stokes, in Rev.
