So of PрeveTiKoç the Italians made Farnetico; and of Farnetico we make Frantick; and of Chermosino we make Crimson'. In all languages the same transposition takes place; as in the Greek Kapdia and Kpadın, &c. And the Greeks might as well have imagined these to be two different words, as our etymologists have supposed BOARD and BROAD to be; though there is not the smallest difference between them, except this metathesis of the letter R: the meaning of BOARD and BROAD being the same, though their modern application is different.

F.-Well. Be it so. I think your account of BRAWN

1 [So in Italian: Ghirlanda, Grillanda.—Orlando, Roldano, Rolando. "How my blood CRUDDLES!"-Dryden. Edipus, act 1. sc. 1.] ["I will not be crubbed."-Col. Wilson, in the House of Commons." CRULLE was his here."-Millers Tale, 3314.-ED.]

has an advantage over Junius and Skinner: for your journey is much shorter and less embarrassed. But I beg it may be understood, that I do not intirely and finally accede to every thing which I may at present forbear to contest.

CHAPTER IV.

THE SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED.

F. I SEE the etymological use you would make of the finals D, T, and N. But you said, early in our conversation, that WRONG was a past participle, as well as RIGHT; yet WRONG does not fall within any of those three classes.

H.-True. It belongs to a much more numerous and less obvious class of participles; which I should have been sorry to enter upon, till you had been a little seasoned by the foregoing.

WRONG is the past participle of the verb To Wring, Pningan, torquere. The word answering to it in Italian is

2 Junius says " BRAWN, callum; inde Brawn of a boar est callum aprugnum. Videntur autem BRAWN istud Angli desumpsisse ex accusativo Gr. Twрos, callus; ut ex Twρov, per quandam contractionem et literæ R transpositionem, primo fuerit pwv, atque inde BRAWN."

Skinner says " BRAWN, Pro Apro, ingeniose deflectit amicus quidam doctissimus a Lat. Aprugna, supple Caro; rejecto initiali a, P in в mutato, G eliso, et a finali per metathesin rov u premisso.

"2 BRAWN autem pro callo declinari posset a Gr. πwpwμa, idem signante; in ẞ mutato, o priori propter contractionem eliso, & posteriori in Au, et м in N facillimo deflexu transeunte.

"3. Mallem tamen BRAWN, pro Apro, a Teut. Brausen, fremere ; vel a Brummen, murmurare. Sed neutrum placet.

4. BRAWN etiam sensu vulgatissimo callum aprugnum signat. Vir rev. deducit a Belg. Beer, aper, et Rauw, Rouw, in obliquis Rauwen, Rouwen, crudus : quia exteri omnes hujus cibi insueti (est enim Angliæ nostræ peculiaris) carnem hanc pro crudo habent; ideoque modo coquunt, modo assant, modo frigunt, modo pinsunt. Sed obstat, quod nullo modo verisimile est, nos cibi nobis peculiaris, Belgis aliisque gentibus fere ignoti nomen ab insuetis sumsisse.

"5. Possit et deduci (licet nec hoc plane satisfaciat) ab A.-S. Bap, aper, et pun, contr. pro punnen vel ge-punnen, concretus, q. d. Barrun (i. e.) pars Apri maxime concreta, pars durissima."
