Our Puxxiin1 Language and It's Words
OF More Than One Meaninu.


OF More Than One Meaning.
OF oil modern languages English il
undoubtedly the most difficult to ac-
quire. In addition to the ordinary
pitfalls Of forms and idioms that en-
trap the foreigner struggling for mas
terry of a strange tongue, there is one
30 peculiar 70 ours that nothing even
remotely similar presents itself in any
other language, whether ancient or
modern.
This Is the paradoSioal word. the
word which has two meanings diamet-
ricaily opposed to each other. II Is
not enough that, with all the wealth
Of words borrowed from half score
Of other languages, we must impose a
double and often a multiple burden on
some poor little monosyllabic word
like get for instance, whose mean
ings are legion. Our language must
needs confound the student at the
gates with the paradox. To give a
few examples:
The word "let' means to ''allow"
or permit" and likewise to ''pre-
vent hinder or refuse" meanings
Numerically opposite. II will let you
do it, in the former sense is hardly
more common in use THAI the phrase
without let or hindrance," and
Shakespeare has it. "By heaven. IN
make a ghost Of him that lets mre-
vents mep'
"Cleaver means to split asunder as
well as to adhere" or bind closely.
Scott makesf Marmioni threatep TO
'cleaye the Douglas head while

''cleaye unto his wife,
Another example is "lurld," which
means both dull red" and also a
pale green" hue, tints that are exact
~ opposed in the scale Of color. While
the former Is the more common mean
ing, the latter Is more scholarly cor
rect, as the word is derived through
the Latin from the Greek adjective
meaning sgreenish hued"
Again, we have fast" A horse
