HOW SPEECH CHANGES.
English Words Are Now Very Differ
ent From What They Used to Be.

A striking characteristic Of the Eng.
fish language is the ability It's words
possess of passing from one part of
speech into another. In the course of
its history English has been largely
stripped of the endings which once
characterized different parts of speech.
Our intinitives no longer end in en-.
do not say tellen. still less tellan. but
simply tell. Our nouns have discarded
the Il or or in which many of them
terminated originally. Dropa has be
come drop" ende has become end
wudu has become wood"
In consequence of the disappearance
of the examinations. words have been
reduced to their root form. Hence they
pass. with little difficulty from one part
of speech into another. This was not
SO once.
Let us take our old, familiar gram
NAUTICAL friend love as an illustration
In Latin it Is amare as verb: as Il
noun it Is amor One in consequence
cannot be used for the other Such
transition difference of termination
completely prevents. So in our earliest
English speech the noun love was lufu
the verb was iutian. Here again one
could not be used for the other.
But when the substantive ending was
dropped from Iufu and the verbal end,
ing from lufian the root luf alone re-
mained That has given the word love
This can be used indifferently either as
q noun or verb. In both cases the ex
listing final is Of no importance. 1t Is
mere lifeless survival which has
weight only in the conventional spell
