I am glad to see you stringing so many words together as tone then tener tendre tender thin, and [[Strikethrough]] when you know [[/strikethrough]] this kind of knowledge you are getting will never desert you but will I am sure be some day of great [[Strikethrough]] assist [[/Strikethrough]] service to you. It will enable you to appreciate the writings of good men & teach you to despise affectation & nonsense.  A minister would use the word attenuated of the same root instead of thin because it is longer.

I like what you have found out about thunder but in joining it to its family by its strong family likeness we [[strikethrough]] must not [[strikethrough]] may notice it very appropriate as well.  It could not have a mean thin vowel, be called thinder for example, but remember that in a root vowels are all lost.

It will not be necessary for me to enjoin you not to bother with Sanskrit & Gothic but only to form connections in those [[strikethrough]] you know [[strikethrough]] languages you know already.  It is well to look them over as they come in a book you are reading, and as a continuation of your then series I might add the Armenian [[image]] The Arabic [[image]], the Chinese [[image]], the Egyptian [[image: three heiroglyph doodles]] the Hebrew [[image]] and the Roman B O S H.
