To Be Sharp.

The Aryan root LAX" meant ito be
sharp" and the idea of sharpness has
followed it at least through 10000
years into all of the family of Ian
guages of that tongue 1t is quite like
ly that the property Of sharpness was
conceived of by these ancestors from
handling shells, the first knives that
man knew. That cutting edge was re-
ferred to by LAX" long before the most
primitive people had learned to put
an edge on flint When these Aryans
wanted to express the idea of sharp
ness of mind they used the same word.
This root went into the Greek, where
it became "akros," meaning pointed.
In Sanskrit it Is acre" meaning the
same thing. In the Latin we find
"acrimonia," signifying sharpness, from
which our "acrid" comes. The Latin
also has "acer, meaning sharp. and
'.acus," needle. In the AngloSaxon
it became "eag," an edge. So the idea
of sharpness runs all the way through
and we have it in our acid" acute"
ledge" and FAX" as well as in 'acrid"
and "acumen. "-Argonaut.
