FAcrs ADorr FlGrErs,--It may be
we'll to know why we DO not say ono
teen, twotecn, rs we say thrcc-teen
fourteen, etc. The following, from
communication to the New York
World, gives the explanation:
In q recent issue OF Your paper IN
inquiry is raised IS to the origin OF
eleven and twelve. The writer starts
upon the not unnatural superstition
that these words form m exception 10
tho ordinary rule in counting, and asks
Why We do not say or.ctccr, twotc2n,
tlirtecn, etc, The reply is, We do not
say one-tecn and two-tcen when we
say eleven and twelve. In Anglo
Saxon these words appear as cndiuton
and twelf Now, in these forms, the
ain and twa are the Gothic words Tor
one and two. What, then, is the part
lii? 1t IS the modification Of 2 word
liba, nearing ten, which appears also
in Lithuanian IS lika; the change from
the labial } to the cultural 4 being just
like the change from Latin 3Yos to
Greek lakes, wolf, Now, III Lithua
Man. they say frHlsbG tor twelve, hY-
1iIa for thirteen, cite; using throughout
the same root which we use, only in
these two apparently exceptional eases

Latin words dirgg7 ana l5gaa for

Of the best whiting to be had,

warm water, and q piece Of fan
mel which dip into the wster,
and squeeze nearly dry: then
take as much whiting as will
