Presented to the Society May 29th, 1878.

THEol~ject aimed at in tllis paper has been a separation of authenticated and unauthenticated verbal roots or root-forms in Sanskrit; a general classification and description of the former, and an attempt at determining the value and t l ~ e character of the latter. I t is a recognized fact that the majority of Sanskrit radicals enumerated by native lexicographers and grammarians have never been verified by modern investigation of the literature of the Hindus. DiRerent causes have been assigned to account for this fact. Some scholars have expressed a suspicion that a t least a considerable portion of these strange forms are counterfeits-products of scholastic inventiveness, which have never entered into circulatiorl in the living language. But others, and, it is believed, with the weight of authority on their side, have trusted to the disclosures of a more thorough sifting of all the material for the justification of such forms; or have rnade dialectic variations and borrowing from unrelated tongues responsible for these pariahs rejected by classical records. Another fact is also that not only a great number of these problematical root-forms..; but also a great many authenticated radicals, are invested with meanings which have never been recognized by modern researches. This also must be due to one of two causes : either to mere invention or guessing on the part of the native lexicographers and cornmentators, or else to the existence of parallel radicals, identical in their form, but diff'ering in their signification.

A. H.Edgren,

This whole subject seems, for two reasons, to deserve especial attention. The first and more general reason is the importance, in Indo-European etymology, of the evidence furnished by Sanskrit roots. The value of their testimony is in exact proportion to their authenticity. Indications are by no means wanting that etymologizers are tempted to lend an undue, indeed often a fallacious, importance to doubtful forms, in allowing them to stand a t the side of authenticated roots, as their full equals, supporting far-reaching conclusions: and it might be said with truth that the structure of Indo-European etymology, in so far as it is reared on such foundations, is loose and unsafe. The second and more special reason is the desirableness of facilitating a correct acquisition of the language by disencumbering the dictionaries of what is false, arid thus mislsads or unnecessarily burdens the memory of the student. The great dictionary of Bohtliugk and Roth, which determines the value of every root-form as far as the present knowledgc of the language permits, and which, no doubt, will for years to corne be the corner-stone of all etymological constructions on the Aryan field, will, we hope, some day yield a satisfactory solution of the enigma of these unidentified roots and definitions. I n the mean time, the following facts, mainly drawn from that source, and the conclusions founded on themconclusions given with all the caution which the consideration of a subtile and elusive question has constantly suggested -may serve as n slight contribution to such a result, if only by inviting to the subject a wider discussion than it has hitherto received.

THE ~%UTHENTICATED VERBAL ROOTS AND ROOT-FORMS.


By authenticated radicals is here meant all such as, given or not given' in native root-collections, especially i n P2nini's Dhbtu&ha, and further explained or illustrated by native commentators, have been actually found in any personal or impersonal form by modern reeearches in the Hindu literature. All forms not thus verified have been ruled out, whatever, in other respects, their claims might seem to be. THENUMBER AND CLASSIFICATION of these authenticated radical forms must vary according to different methods followed. In the first case a very large number of radicals catalogued in the
About fifty forms, found especially in the Rig-Veda, are wanting in Westergaard's Radices Ling. Sanscr.

Ve~~erbal Roots o the Xanskril Language. f

Dh2tuplthas are only convenient duplicates of one and the same root, parallel forms corresponding t o slight inflectional changes or varieties which involve no change of sense whatever ; as in the case of dd, dad, ckiy; dh'hci, d('ctcZ/b; i, i, ay; vip, oep; the frequent nasalization of roots like baclh, btrndhl gubh, gunzbh; saj, sa6j (also sajj, by assimilation) ; and so on. If all such possible variations were taker] into accouut, the root-list would be increased beyond endurance. In point of fact it is considerably swelled by these parallel forms, without beginning to exhaust the possibilities ; and, moreover, the number varies somewhat according to the method of differe~~t lexicographers (European included). The following collection of verified root-forms (in the main though not absolutely agreeing in arrangement with that of the Dhktupltha) contains not less than 108 duplicates of the above descriptior~ (not counting s ~ ~ c:tsi kar, ky, since they art. not given separately l in the Dl&.). To these may be added kar, khicl, 2 tan, pag, h i n g himply later types of the likewise extant earlier skar, skhid, sttrn, spfcf, and implying IIO organic change or change followed by modihcatiori of the meaning, but only a wearing away of the i ~ ~ i t i consonant. Aside from these 1 1 2 duplicates, then, there al are altogether 880 radical forms which are autl1entic:ated on the principle laid down above. But, secondly, eve11 these 850 forms must be considerably reduced in number before we have what may be fairly called radicals. There are many forms which, in all probability, must be corisiderecl as denominatives, and which, as such, have no more right to occur in a root-collection than other and more evident denominatives, wllich are exclucled from it. I t cannot, indeed, be stated with absolute certainty which forms are denominatives ; and probably the weight of the best authority is now in favor of the supposition that all verbs of the cur-class were ultimately of that kind. Without resorting, however, here t o this theory, aud classifying as denominatives, for the most part, only such verbs as seern clearly derived from existing nominal bases both in form and sense, and whose late occurrence in the language, moreover, gives strong support to this theory of secondary formation, a number of' 48 is obtained. They are (ollly the 7 marked occur, ( ring also in the RV.) : a h , a ~ i ka~ilcht?), argh, artht, Irshy, kuth, klrt, kuts, kha?zd, g a ~ gapd, gupt, cdrn, tir, dand, dhdp, 2 patt, , path, 2 pag, p&l, pind, 2 phal, phftll, naaiztrt, mygf, mdrg, rt~igr, nzt21, 2 ntoksh, yantr, 2 ras, raksh, rdp, IaJCSh, lirig, warn, v&t, vds, vfrt, vyay, vrun (?), gabd, gtl, sabhdj, sukh, sdtr, sten, (compare also nid). Further, there are a few forms which are apparently nothing but (for the most part older and somewhat anomalous) derivative verb-forms (mainly desiderstives) from roots existing a t their side ; and with which, like other moye regular derivatives of the kind, they might be properly classed. There are about 16 of them, viz. : kri.liksh (desid. of'kanz), kshal (caus. of kshar), 2 ksha2~ (caus. of kshi), jcigar (intens. of 3 yur), daridr& (intens. of drd),

Subtracting the preceding 64 forms from the number 880, there remain 816 radical forms. Though these figures represent the number of identified radical verb-forms with an independent character and with their own distinct meanings or shades of meaning, it is nevertheless generally conceded that many even of them are but the results of older processes of linguistic change, and that not a few among them are referable to simpler or more primitive roots, which are yet extant. Still the nature and scope of these processes are very differently interpreted, and the classitications, as a coriseyuence, very diverse and uncertain. In a limited number of cases, indeed, we need feel little or no hesitancy. Thus, especially, there are some radicals like ranab, Znrr~b(both meaning 'hang down,' but the former occurring only in its literal sense in the Rig-Vecla, ~ v l ~ i l e latter, with various the figurative meanings attached to it, occurs in the later language alone), or bhan, bhan (the former 'resound, shout,' and Vedic; the latter ' speak,' and post-Veclic) of which Zaw~band bha?a are evidently nothing but later forms of ramb and bhan. Such couplets, involving no addition or loss of consonants, and no vowel-change, are in fact but one root, and might conveniently be so given, were it not that they often show clifferent shades of meaning, giving rise to different derivations, and that they occur in different epochs, the more original forms generally alone in the Vedic period, and the later forms (mostly alongside the earlier) in a later stage of the language. On these grounds they are justly held apart, being in fact separate forms; only where the preceding distinctions are wanting have they been counted as one. Omitting, of course, the frequent interchange between v and b, which is optional rather than historical, there are altogether 2 7 such slightly varied radicals, for the most part on the r- 1- theme, viz. : larigh (rarih, rahgh), lap (rap), labh (robh), Znm (ram), lumb (ramb), 10s (ras), likh (rikh), lip (rip), lig (rig), lih (rih), Z l (lul), 1t~p z d (rup), (kshal, caus. of kshar), cal and gctl (car), jval (jvav), dul (ckcr), p h a l ( phar), sph~cl(sphur) , hval (hvar), plu (pru), mluc (rnvuc), glath (crath), glish (crish) ; bhayz (bhan), (1; (at) ; har (bhar), rrch (rudh,). There are also some, like 1, 2 ktal, 1, 2 karsh, etc., which are identical in form, but which follow different inflectional systems, and which have generally developed more decided changes of meaning. I t has seemed preferable, however, for various reasons, to arrange such forms, in the list which follows, under one head, Fvherever the kinship of meaning seemed to argue convincingly an ultimate identity; and to leave those subject to more uncertainty to be separated, merely suggesting their relationship.

Ve~baZRoots o the Scc7zslc7.it Lcrnguage. f


Reducing again the number 816, which was left above, by the 27 historically modified forms, there remain 789 radicals, wllicli may be considered as either entirely distinct roots, or secondary fornlatior~schiefly by means of accretion, or vowel-change and transposition, outside any of the 01-dinarygrammatical processes. The classificatiol; of the greater part of these root-words is necessarily fraught with much uncertainty; arid i t is here that individual feeling and theorizing, mostly nnsapported by direct historical evidence, have establislied very different principles, and arrived a t very diverse results. Leaving entirely to their wortli such bold classifications as those att?mpted by Fick, on the orie hand, and by P o t t and others, who resort to the prefix-theory (for an sno~nalorls exception conip. u j j ) , on the other, and building mainly on the princilrles cautiously and guardedly laid clown by Curtius in his Grz~nclziige deer Griechische~~ tymologie (pp. E 58-72, 4th ed'n), a tolerably correct, tl~ollgll no doubt very incomplete grouping rr~aybe obtained. Accortling to tl~ese pri~lciples a change of roots has taken place, or] sorrle l,rinciples not yet understood, chiefly by the safK\ing of certain consonants, more seldoni by a vowel.change, and very rarely by a loss of prefixed consonants.--The last cliange not being organic, or, as Curtius calls it, a TVurzelafeectio7~ and not a TV%rzelvariution, has been treated above (p. 3).Thus it seems reasonable to snppose that cou1)lcts or groups of radicals like i, ' go,' i l l , 'cause to go ;' ci, ' obserb e,' cit, ' observe, know,' cii~t,' think, reflect nlmn ;' gar, ' raise t h e voice,' gad, ' bellow, roar ;' si, ' bind,' siv, 'bind together, sew ;' mcir, ' grind, crush,' rnarcL, ' crus11,' tilartl, ' grind, crush,' nzarc, ' hurt '-and others of a similar character, are closely akin. And when, further, we consider the p r e v a i l i ~ ~ g n d e ~ ~ cof
Indo-E:m.opean roots to te y growth by rneans of suffixes, and that the niore original meaning
can be traced in most cases, though not in all, to the simpler forni,
it is natural to assume that the longer forms of the preceding
examples are later developments of the shorter, b y means of the
c o n s o n a ~ ~ tsuffises, i ( , t, j, v, cl, G
al . When, again, we meet with pairs likeptl, ' clrir~k,'pi, ' drink ;' sAtlh, ' accomplish,' siclh, ' be aecomplishetl ;' ~ q j ', be bright,' &j, ' shine,' and so on,-we cannot forbear to conhider the latter forms as weakenings or strengtllcnirlgs of the former, ar~tl thus to admit vowel-change as instrumental in tllir root-variation. Finally, such similar forms as man, 'think,' 1711t8, ' think ;' par., ' fill:' p d , ' fill ;' gar, ' s ~ ~ a l l o w , a s , ' swallow;' j a r , ' move near,' y' jri, move'-evidently show :I k ~ n s h i p :be it that the variatiorl of form was caused by metutllesis; or, as arqnecl recently by Dr. 1Srngman (Morphologishe U~ttersitch~~r~gan, niealis of I.), by a vowel-suffix [prd=p(ts)?-+&I. Adhering in the main t o these three l~riticiples (exceptionally an infix, and in two or three cases a prefix, being allowed), 156 forrns have been judged to be such derivatives from simpler a r ~ d more primitive radicals. I t sholiltl be remarked, however, that

most (about 110, comp. p. 7) of these presumable branch-roots appear hide by side with their stems in the earliest n~onumentsof the language, arid that a great part of them are shown b y corresponding forms in other cognate languages to have existed before the separation of the common primitive speech into its branches. I f these 156 co~~jectural-arid no doubt, on the whole, real-rootderivatives of extant roots be subtracted also from the sum '789, which remained above, we arrive at a total of 633. This may be considered as ii moderate estimate of all genuine Sanskrit roots which are really independent, in so far as, though somrtimes related, they are not derived, directly or indirectly, from one another. But not only do a great many of these indeperldcrlt roots bear traces of secondary foundatiori. though the more 1)rirnitive form is lost or u~iantherrticated,but several of them are so similar in hot11 form and seuse, that they appear to be varied clevelopments of some lost elenlentary root, or otherwisu kinctred forms. Thus, for instance, we have beside ktrrrqj, 'tremble,' kzq, 'be stirred or excited' (to wllich two forms an original kulj is wanting); beside kav~,' be plcased, lo1 e,' knrt~,' lo\ e ;' beside v~crcl,' sound,' nard, 'roar ;' beside jnhh, 'snap at with the mouth,' jejeh, 'gape' (by Uenfey wroogly, as it seems, considered to be en interis. of h a ) ; and su on. I t is often a matter of great difficulty to draw the line between these indirectly kindred radicals and those treated above ; and it has see~lled preferable, in the appended classification of root-forrns, to arrauge all evidently kir~dretl ones together. By this means a list of 58'7 roots and groups of related root-fbrms is obtained. I t must he remembered, however, that this claqsification nowise aims at beir~gexhaustive. I t only seeks to bring together tentativt.ly tliose forms which have seemed to bear more evident traces of kinship, leaving all that seemed too uncertain, by formation or mealling, to stand by therneelbes. There is no doubt that a more riqorous dealing with the subject would considerably recluee this number, for much latitude may be indulged here, but it would also, in so uncertain a field, be subjected to many doubtful and erron'eous inferences, a danger which even so general a grouping as this cannot hope to have ent~rely escaped. Such obscure questions as whether jn&, ' know,' comes from jan, ' bear, be born,' or man, 'think,' from rua (,,id),'form or measure,' though occasionally noted, have not been considered in the arrangement. Various forms like tud, 8tllj, both meaning ' push,' guc, gubh, both rneaulng 'shine,' though they may be originally akin, have also been left separated, in the absence of a comrnon ttc, 926. Further, var and vtrl, 1, 2 : 3 ga7u (all connected by Pick), etc., have been left separated for want of any closer connection in their meaningij. I t has seemed preferable, in regard to such forms as the above, to assume the possibility of their independent coexistence, rather than to follow a sweeping theory of reduction. Scarcely any :~ccou~lt, been taken of prefixed consonants has

though i t seems t o be not without significance that occasionally words occur with kindred forms and meanings like n ~ n k ram, , dram, bhrr~m motion, tan, kvan, dlcau~-r, for bhun (6hu~1), mccn (?), ?-an (rap), svan for sound, and some others less numerous. In some exceptional cases a deviation from a more generally accepted etymology has been ventured on. Thus the theory, apparently supported b y cognate languages, that bhd, ' shine,' and b/uc!?, 'speak,' belong to an original bha, 'speak, shine,' has not been followed, for various rea~ons. The alleged support of that theory by other Sanskrit roots which have the same two meanings is of a very dubious character, inasmuch as those other forms (not less than 38) are all, with one single exceptiol~, unauthenticated, and the definitions, as will be shown f'urther on, probably artificial. The one authenticated exception is las, which ir found both in t h e sense of 'shine' and 'sound,' and is b y the Petershurgh Dictionary given as one root. But it seems more probable, after all, that Zas, 'sound,' is but a later form of ras, 'give forth ally loud sound, roar,' etc. (comp. old bhav, 'resound, shout'); and which r a s never means ' shine.' To this should be added, however, calcsh, whicli, though not meaning ' shine,' is found in the sense of ' be visible, appear ; announce, say' (Petersh. Dict.) ; and which is derived from kdsh, ' shine.' Tt seems as if here the ' tneani~tg announce, say' (found chicfly w11er1 the root is comp'd wit11 (7, praty-&, etc.) had been de\eloped causatively through 'make apparent, etc.' As regards the root 6 h r c ~ (hhait), on the contrary, its earliest (Vedic) sense appears to be ' resouncl, shout,' not ' speak,' and this latter (post-Vedic) meai~ing therefore to be directly derived more naturally from the idea of so?cntl. Besides bha!? (bh(19~)seems in some way, if only b y analogy, to connect itself with a number of roots in -an (see above), meaning 'sound.' W h y not accept two different elements as ~vell 6hd, b h a ~as for for , Qr7-pf in Greek ? The rr.markable the kindred \ erbs c;oair/-we?, alternative coincidence of lengthened vowel and nasalization might be accidental, and is not found in other kindred tongue^.

existence in the language a t that period ; since one single work of a not large or varied extent, like the Rig-Veda, can embody but a certain part of the laliguage of its time. But an examination of these 242 radicals evinces, nevertheless, that a considerable share of them may with great probability be considered :IS of later formation. Thus, as seen above, not less than 63 radicals (only 7 of then1 in the Atharvan), have the I-sound (25 initial, 25 final, 15 medial). 12ut ail l is generally conceded to be (for the most part, at any rate) a later change of a more original I. I t is rare in the Rig-Vedic root-forms, occur. ring altogether in but 11 out of 590 radicals (4 times as initial, lahh, lip, li, lzcbh; once as final, rrtfl; and 6 times as medial, kalp, ~ Z U T I L , @ , n~Z(2, la(9i)g; and in the denoni. jcrlp). The imvnluc, I v mense disproportion is evident, being nearly that of 14 to 1, or of one Gsour~ilin etery fourth root of the strictly post-Vedic material to one in every fifty-fourth root of the Vedic. Even the assistance of the seven Atharva~iroots in I would not change very much this di~crepancy. Moreover, several of these Giorms give a more direct proof of their late formation, inasrnuch as the older r-forms are found only in an earlier stage of the language (compare the list below). The preceding remarks apply also to the lingual mutes and nasal. They also are rare in the Rig-Veda, occurring altogether in only 12 radicals (id, kknd, krij, tad, nid. p, c i! ~ / L / Yrirarj, F, mar? (euphonic), vish!, vid, hid). But in the other literature they are found in 48 root-forms (only 1 of these in the Atharvat~), as is seen in the above list; the disproportion being here nearly as that o 10 to 1 , or of one lingual in every fifth root of the strictly f post-Vedic material to one in every forty-rrinth root of the Vedic. Even here the direct evidence of actual change is not wanting (see below) ; though probably foreign elements have also entered. I t is worthy of notice that while the Rig-Veda has 100 rootforms terminating in palatals (28 of these tlre palatal sibilant), only 26 ot all the non-Vedic forms (see p. 8) terminate thus (and of these only three in the palatal siljilant): i. e. there is four time6 greater frequency in a material little more than one and a half times larger, or about one palatal in every ninth or tenth root of the strictly post-Vedic material to one in every sixth root of the Vedic. In regard to the remaining non-Vedic forms, no such marked differences on a noteworthy scale have been remarked. Another feature wortlly of' mention, as helping to demonstrate the comparatively late character of many of these radicals, is that 47 of them are more or less evidently changes or developments of more primitive roots, also extant, viz. :With an I-soulid: 2 kal (=I kal), kshal (kshnr), crrl (car), j a b (jar),v a l (jvar), ckrl (rlur), 1 phal (phur), larigh (raiigh), lam j las , (ram), la7726 ( ~ ( C V L ~ )(ms), lilih (rikh), lig (rig), lih (rih), ltcp (rttp), loc (ruc), loc (ruca), gal (car), glath (path), glish (grisi~), hv(tl (hvar), sph~tl (sphur) :--with a lingual rnute or nasal, a t (crt), nat (nart), ptrth (prathj, bhalz (bhai~), kutt (Icccrt), ghat!

THE PRODUCTIVENESS, finally, of the verified roots should be noticed. Like germs planted in the fruitful soil of living language, they have sprung up and borne fruit, o f t e ~ hundred-fold. Or, it a might be said with more appositeness that, like living members of the society of language, they have entered into union with other members, and given birth to new families of words: by means of suffixes, to nouns on the one hand ; and, b y means of prepositional prefixes, to new verbs or to nouns on the other. So qeneral is this productiveness, and the trace of it, that it might well be called the law of a genuine root. Out of our 832 radicals (denom. deducted), some of them of a very late formation, 814 obser\ e this law; and the vast majority of these, or rather more than 7 0 0 , have derivatives of both kinds (only about 35 being found cornpounded with prepositions, but without derived nouns or adjectives ; and about 65 vice versa). Only 18 authenticated root-forms (waiving a few uncertain ones) appear barren and isolated in the dictionary: viz. krz2$, gard, 2 <jar,tug, tvahg, dasz, bat, bhuvqj, bhri, r@h, vrctd, 1 gad, gca???, pdr, ~ u j sti.yh, vith, h&s. IZut almost every one of these appear , in a slngle passage only (and that nearly always in KIT.) ; only one of them ($ad) in more than three passages. They are therefore invested with much uncertainty in regard both to sense and connection. Besides, bhurqj is a late derivative, and $cum is perhaps incorrect writing for 9c;nnz. This feeble exception to the general rule is, therefore, of a wholly uncertain and insignificant value. Possibly a closer examiriation may add a few forms to these; but it is as likely to remove some of these from their present isolated state.
The nuniber of radical forms, graphically or otherwise distirlct, which have not been verified In use, is a little above eleven hundred. By allowing for forms of identical meaning, on the same principle on which this wan done for the other class of radicals, the number is reduced to somewhat less than a thousand. An important fact, however, must be considered i n col~nection with this statement. I t is this: not only a large part of these forms, but also a co~tsiderable number of the authenticated radicals, are invested with meanings incompatible with one another, and in the latter case, with the verified sense: and many of them are assigned to two or more conjugational systems. Were all these meanings to be accepted as real, then such radical rorms should rightly be divided into as many radicals as the meanings warrant. This ~vouldprobably raise the total number considerably above

two thousand. I n some instances (as for anzb, etc.), they are thus properly separated in the Dhgtupdtha; and etymologizers are also led, when necessary, to keep them apart. I t would, however, be an ungrateful task to t r y such a separation, so long as the whole subject is involved in much doubt ancl shows evident corruption; and, in general, only the unauthenticated forms, but not their varied meanings, will be cousidered for the present. T o determine the value and character of these doubtful forms is a very precarious task. The following considerations seem, however, to be strong presumptive evidence in favor of the ungenuineness of the vast majority of them. I. THEU I ~ P R O P O R T I O N hetween authenticated and unauthenticated radicals.-Some scholars of the highest authority have, to he sure, trusted to the discoveries of a fuller investigation of the whole literature for the jnstification of doubtful forms; or have made dialectic variations and foreign borrowing responsible for this mass of strange material. Thus \Vestergaarcl, in his Radices L i t z q l ~ mSanscritr~, xpresses himself iu regard to tlie idea of fice titiousness: " RIira tamen assertio, quum tam paululum Iiterze Indicze notze sint. Puto contra quemque pibi perstlasum habere posse, eas radices, tle quibus omnes grammatici consentiant, quunl literz Indicze melius cognotz fueriut, olnnes exemplis inde sumptis l~robatasrepertum ~ri." Ueufey, in his Vollstiirzclige Branz~jzcitik cler Sanskritsprache, # 140, without questioning the genuineness of any radical given b y native lexicographers, suggests that dialectic usages and the engrafting of foreign elements have caused a great diversity of forms. A vast progress in the study of the Sanskrit literature has been made since the Danish scholar uttered his cautious words (1842), and still the unverified e l e m e ~ ~ remain virtually a t t h e same ts point as then. The very oldest records of the language have been in tlie main thoroughly sifted; and all the more important parts of the later literature, theological, philosophical, and zsthetic, have beer] searched, and still over a thousand-or shall we say over 2,000?-alleged roots have never been met with. And we are t o 1)elicve that this host of radicals will be found chiefly in that part of the post-Vedic literature which has not been investigated, in spite of the fact that the vast field actually searched shows b u t a very small root-increase even from the earliest monuments down (comp. p. 8, 2, note). In view of these considerations, i t seems reasonable to suppose that we can never hope to find, at the best, more than a small fraction of this mass in the literature. Still, there are weightier objections than these, bearing also on the other opinion-that the dictionary has been recruited from dialects or unl-elated tongues. W e refer t o :1 . T H E DIFFERENT HELATION which the authenticated and the 1 unauthenticated radicals sustain to the other material of the vocabulary.-The authenticated elements (as has been pointed out, p. 10) are, almost without exception, living germs growing and ramifying: they have given birth to new parts of speech, and

have in union with prepositions formed new verbs. So general is this principle of organic development, that i t coulcl be used with a high degree of certainty as the special touchstone b y which nncertain roots might be tested. How, then, do the unverified roots come out of such an examination? Out of about 1,000 radicals (genuine forms with unverified meaning a d well a s inflection counted), less than 150 seem to have any possible connection in sense with burrounding or similar nominal forms, viz. :~ r i g = ~ ? i s ) , ag, ugh, uud, u ) L c ~ahhr, ark, ul, ind, 2 1 qj, OF, ( ~, 1, kac, kufic, ka;, kath, kud, ha?&, kanth, knnd, kab, kurn, kard, kal, kall, kav, kil, kid, kil, kel, kut, k ~ c ?kurnh, kul, kug, k$l ('enclose'), ~, krath, kla(n)d, klih, kshur, kshmdy, khaj, khur, guj, gad, nand/&, gur (yy, 'sprinkle'), garv, gtrh, gu, g$, gard, gosh;, granth, g h a r (' shine'), gharsh (= harsh), ghur, c a ? ~ d ,cash, cit, cu?,;, jaj, jut, jinx, tal, tik, din%,tatik, tay, tar?%,tal, ddn, dyai, d m p , duar, dhi, dhish, (?/&or, dhvdiLksh, nar, rial, nishk, pa(fi)c, p(tn<, p a r n , pit, pith, piv, p u p , prtr, pQsh, phakk, bal, bid, bis, Brikk, bcit, bus, hhand, bhalE, math, ~na?s, ~ a l ,mag, mas, mcicZ, nzdrj, n rn~rpd, mur, mus, ?/ant, ray, rek, laej, vcrt, ~ru??th, vark, anrc, valbh, vit, vel, veh, gac, gath, grcnd, gav, giiLgh, gish, gun@, gQrp, gal, gron, glak,.pabhr, sarj, sur, skhad, sthul, sthir, hnth, haL The connection which these radical forms may have with certain nouns or adjectives, has been noted on the very questionable supposition that the latter are all genuine. The list would be much smaller still, were only authenticated nominal forms to b e considered. Further, it must be observed that this connection is nearly always restricted to one of the meanings of the radicals, that it extends frequently to but one or two wordb, and that it is sometimes of a very donbtful character. This apparent relation may be owing to one of three causes. Either the root-forms are genuine, ant1 have given rise to the word or words in question; or they have been invented or inferred b y grammarians to account for the same, or to serve as their denominatives; or, finally, the agreement is purely :in accidental one. It is probable that each of these causes has be6.n active; but a study of this relation, which has often too artificial an aspect to be credited as natural, makes it more than likely that the second cause has been especially instrumental in bringing it about. The fact that the greater part of these radical forms are giver1 without connection with any prepositions (contrary t o the nature of real roots, p. LO),g.i~~es support t o this opinion. Even Bohtlingk and Itoth, who maintain a cautious reserve in regard t o the real nature of tlie authenticated root-forms generally, leaving them to stand for what they may be worth, not unfrequently suggest such forms as the above t o be artificial. But these few radicals form but a small fraction of tlie whole unidentified mass. There remain about 850, which either appear like perfect strangers in the midst of clusters of words that might be akin to thern in form, but nowise in meaning, or else stand perfectly isolated in hot11 respects (there are about 300 of the latter).

Thus, while the authenticated radicals appear l ~ k everitable pra$and$ surrounded b y a generally numerous kindred, which they never, as n rule, entirely survive, t h w c mnverifiecl forms have 110 kindred, or h a l e outlived them all, i t they ever had a n y ! Tllere seems t o he no escape f r o n ~ this anom:ily, except in the suppoqition that these forms are, fiw the most part, intruders of some sort. Shall we then call them dialectic horrowingq? But the samt. objection worild apply also t o this hyl)otlnesis I t seems, namely, in tlle tirst place, entirely incredible that all dialectic clerivatives should have been completely left out, while bnch a wholesale borrowing of dialectic roots took place. Arid, secondly, what must the dialect have heeu, if this host of roots had no connection in sense whatever with so similar classical words as those b y which they are o t t e ~ ~ surro~inded, r if they tiat1 no kindred whatever in

'I'he idea that they could he I~orrowed from nnrelatecl tongues, if
i t was ever held, needs 110 reflitation. S ~ i c h borrowing coultl only
a he sporadic, and would more likely I)e of nouns than of' radicals.
But an equally strong argument anainst the genuine character
of tlle plurality of these forms seems t o be:-

D of kindred fhrm and meanirrg on the one hand, and unauthenti-

of the latter.--The \ erifieci radicals of kindred form and rlieaning
were conrlected with one another chiefly b y means of an exten-

Thus especially in case of the radical forms with the alleged meaning 'go.' Counting all unauthenticated instances (the unverified ' go ' of auth. roots, and a few Santra-roots included) not less than 336 radicals are said to have that sense.

abotit 65 radicals verified in other sense than 'go, move.' But these ' go'-roots, though much exceeding any others in numhcr, are not the only ones of itbnormal nnmbers and obvious classifications. Another very frequent definition is 'hurt, kill' (hirisdydnz, etc.). There are abont 110 forms with that meaning assigned to them ; and they can all, with very few exceptions, be arrangecl into 18 or 19 groups of the same nature as those above (for examples, see p. 14). Then there are about 70 equally classifiable forms (fbr examples, see p. 13), called gabddrthdfi, or wortls expressing sourid; 37 (see p. 16) mean 'speak, shine:' about 60 meat] 'speak ;' and so on. These facts, it seems, hear an aspect too evidently artificial to be accepted as t h e natural results of liriguistic proceqses. I t appears even that they indicate the very cause of such strings of voot-growth which, spreading and ~amif'yingeverywhere in rank and intricate conf'nsion, underlie the whole soil of' the language. I t seems prolialjle that the actual existence of a few similar forms with a kindred meallirig, and perl~apsal?o some noticed di:tlectic varieties of the same word, have gradually led lexicographers to an artificial extension u d l i b i t u ~ of suc11kindred forms. i~ 'l'he first cause of the extension might have been a desire t o set up roots for certain classes of words tlie real elements of which were unknown. This suppoeitiori seems coy~firmed by t h e fact, that severizl words are said to be derived from unauthenticated root-forms with which they h a \ e a seeming colnlectioll in form, but none in idea. I n coining these counterfeits, however, i t seems as if the guidi~tg principle had been a t first to model then1 in form and sense on some genuine radical, rightly or falsely ir~terpreted ; for in the greater numher of instalices the strings of kindred forms clearly show such apoirat cl'mppui. Thus, in the euamples given above, kev, kheu, gev, lev, pev, etc., all meaning ' s e n c or honor,' lean on the real root sev of the same meaning; cay, clu!y, nay, ptry, etc., for ' go,' may depel~clon a?/, ' go ;' 2 a ~ ~ ~CL)LI/, g , nzall,c/, uarzg, ctc., for 'go,' are evidently variations of 1 atin, tunrig, 'go;' further, a n , kan, film, can, c(t?b, 2 ta~z, cl/a(~!z, L~/L(cI,, rf/tr(~!t, dhua?7, hnjt, ' cl/~vra?~, ba?z, ma!, (?) van, vtric, all rl~ear~ingsound,' clearly agree with tan, kvali etc. (p. 7) ; ant1 so on. These two principles, namely, tltat of coining roots for certairt classes of wordq, and of modelling thow new vocables on true radicals not only in form, but also in sense, indel)el~dently t h e of word or class of words they mere to preside o v c ~ would seem t o , have been the bepinniuq of thc extensior~. G r a d ~ ~ a l l y , however, these principle<, I'alse from the l,eginning, ran into evcesh i r ~two directions. On ttie olie hand, the mere desire of' ndtlirig a riew vocable b y nie:Lns of this current cllangc b y ari:llogy, would seem to have given rise to a host of ihrrnq, even when there were no ~ioun-for~ns acc+onnt for Iii a few exceptional c1i:~rtges the to larger part of the alphabet is taxed for wcli lariatione. Thus, for instance, ill the series of' u~iverifiecl roots begii~liii~g J C C O ~ , ~ , amb. /ihattrh. ynmb, yha~nb, tc. (some of which stand perfectly isolated), e

orlly eight conso~lants are u~antilig as ini~ials. I t is worth 11oticing that in theqe eight instances no nouns c a l h n ~ for such fictitious radical6 are found. T h e series hegir~ilirlgarb, karb, kha7-b, gtob, etc., represents a similar case. On the other hand, the desire to account fbr words without kr~own roots probably f'reed itself iu a limited number of cases fro111 the prevailing principle of dependence o ~ r other roots (especially where no suitable ones were found), and assumed, by Inearis of iriference, meanings akin with the word to I)e explainetl. From these inferred, and no doubt a t times rightly inferred, radic:tls new-derived groups again were established. Finally some sporadic causes of a still more arbitrary nature may have been instrumental in the creatio~iof new vocables. The subject of the dilersity of definitions nlay properly be co~isideredhere. As was pointed out above, a large proportion of the authenticated root-tornis have two or several irreco~icilable mearlirlgs assigned t o then]; and marly anthei~ticatedradicals are burthened with defi~litionsnever verified. The majority of tliese defirlitiorls seem plauvibly explained by the following considerations : First, the same principle which lccl to one fictitious meaning of a radical also led to others: i. e., a certain analogy of' fbrm with another radical suggested a renewed transfer of meaning; and somrti~iles the desire to explain words, additional definitions. Thus we find, for instance, in the series referred to already, that gandh, lik, tiy, clr~c, dhru, tlhd~.,vast are ellrolled among both the ' go-' and the ' kill-'groups. Secondly, within the very defil~itionsthe idea of using closely similar words has fbr some reason, perhaps to cover an uncertainty or frorri habit, been applied. Thus the two bhdgone and Dhdsro<e, so similal. iu form but difererit in senqe, have beer1 assigned t o not less thari 37 forms, also falling into different groups, riz. : kutjg, k~lfis,vtcrig, (lafig, caris, trmis, knaris, pifis, bhyrig:-kup, gtcp, dhup:-ghn;, ghan?, glta!r&, ta&, na;, rial, pa;, pcs;, purl?, puth, rtrt, 1~;:-piiij, nci13, tutij, Z Z L I ? ~ , bhu13':--barh, varh, ball^, vark :-af~h, nzatih, r u ~ i g h , 1a1igh:-(lok, loc real in sense of ' see,' probably originally 'shine:'-vich, vfc). Tlie two meanings in question seem too different to be of so frequent occurrence together; and only one root-form (or t w o ? c*omp.p. 7) having both of them is verified iu all the language. But the insufficiency of that support has lrecn pointed out already. The weak testimoliy of ~ ( X Z Y W , pi (same p.) appears also too uncertain t o outu7eigli the artificial aspect of the proceeding. Other clefiriitiotls of a similar character are dvurune, aprcivane, Cplava?ze; upaharwpe, apuhara!~e, rcva/tam?le; thdvakara!ze, kdvukara!ze, and so on. Sometime3 by prefixing the privative a, or iri some other way, t w o col~tratlictory definitipns for the same word are obtained : as in hivp, h h p , klap, defined by oya/;t&ydm v d c i and a u y a k t d y d n ~ v&,i or in si?rksh, definer1 b y trvddore, &dcve, etc. I 1 the thircl place. the real roots were subjected t o many vague 1

and stumblilig or even false interpretations, which in their turn reacted on the others. A t last, as a result of the whole artificial system, we may suspect arbitrarily appended meanings. And thus the dictionary became gradually burdened with a heap of inorganic rubbish, in some parts hiding and well nigh extinguishing its real life. So uncertain are the native definitions that in sonie instances not one of those given to genuine radicals have been accepted by modern investigations. W e have yet to note one more reason for considering the niajority of the unverified root-forms as spurious, namely :IV. THE DISCREPANCY between the number of authenticated and unauthenticated radicals represented in cognate languages.Fick, in his Wbrterbuch der Indogal-nzanischen Sprachen, finds about 450 of the authenticated radicals, as here given, proved by collateral evidence to have belonged to the original Indo-European speech. But of the whole mass of unauthenticated forms or meanings, only the follou~ing80 have been by him accepted on such evidence :ugh, a d , u, kakh, kac, kan, kar (kill), kark, k r ~ c (sound), kufij, kzcd, kuh, klzu, knily (stink), kmnar, khaj, khad, khad, khav, khd, khztr, khod, gugh, gclj, gandh, g a r (sprinkle), gu, ghiir, can, cup, jhar, tip, tic, tup, tump, tuph, tun~ph,tus, trakk, truiLk, trahkh, trarig, trup, trrlqh, trump, trumnph, tvufic, drdgh, dhor, dhrap,pan, pard, pifij, bhrdg, bhdg, mac, ~ n u y ,macj (= nzajj), minv, muj, r n u ~ ~ d , runzb ((sound'), lanlbh, ua,ig, galbh, ~ L I Sgibh, glcikh, szil, sur, , skund, skhad, stak, stigh, stip, sthal, svard, hrap, hlup. Though the evidence given in their favor be sometimes convincing, it seems, however, in other instances, too weak. Thus hrup, hlap, 'sound,' are supported only by Old Norse ,qjdlj%, ' sound, roaring,' and by a reference to Lith. xlepterhti and Sanskr. julp, ' speak lowly ;-tip, stip, 'drip, - sprinkle,' by Gr. riq-os, ' bog, ditch,' riq-zo-G, ' boggy,' riq-r/, ' water-spider,' Lat. tipQla, ' water-spider ;' Lith. tepd, tkp-ti, ' smear,' stem tap. --Moreover, in a few of the 80 radicals, Fick has been obliged to assign meanings different from those given in the Dhstupbtha. Though the general conclusions from the preceding arguments would be that the vast majority of the unauthenticated forms are pure figments of the native grammarians, the probability still remains that a certain percentage of them are real, and either stored away in some unexplored part of the literature,' or, for sonie reason, never recorded there. Aside from the possible disclosures of future research, only a careful weighing of all the evidence, external and internal, should decide. The collateral evidence of cognate languages is of course
1 Occasionally a root which seemed lost beyond recovery or false will come to light. Thus the roots stigh, i'ith (reth) pldy (not really a root, but from pra + i) have been found but recently, by Dr. Scbroder, in the MaitrOyani-Sanhit&.-Bothlingk-Roth were able to add, in their Beirrage, a dozen roots, nearly half of which, however, are not given in the DhOtupOtha. VOL. XI. 3

of prime importance, but should not decide alone, unless very clear. Thus, for instance, khaj, ' stir up, churn,' is supported not ' stir only b y Gr. xvx-dmv, ' stirred-up drink,' MUM-av-c+m, about ;' Lat. coc-dtu-m,, 'stirred-up drink;' Old Norse skak-a, etc. ; but it has also several clear derivatives, as khaja, ' churning,' khajaka, (churning-stick,' etc. :-skhad, ' split,' is supported by Gr. aX&Zm, 'split,' Lat. scandula, 'splint,' etc., and is followed by s k h a d a ~ ~ a , ' cutting to pieces :'-gudh, ' cover,' besides being assisted by Gr. xei'Om, Germ. ETccut, etc., and followed by some derivatives, seems to be the older form of guh:-gharsh seems to stand in the same relation to harsh: --kakh, 'laugh,' is supported by Gr. x a u x d2w7 'laugh;' Lat. cachinn-ari, 'laugh,' etc.; but it has no derivatives. Still its meaning is not one of the current coins of the spurious vocabulary; and it fitands alone with nothing to account for, and seems to be of onomatopoetic origin. But if it be established as a genuine radical, there is nevertheless reason to suspect its satellites khakkh, gaggh, ghagh, ghaggh as arbitrary variations. Much rnore uncertainty belongs to a form like pi6j, for insta?ce. T o be sure, the meaning 'paint' seems supported by Gr. zzvy-o-S, Lat. pingo, and Slav. peg-u; but, on the other hand, i t is overlaid with such a variety of meanings besides ' paint,' as ' sound, join, adore, kill, be strong, give, take, dwell, speak, shine' ! Its natural form-derivative pifija has no connection with it in senfie; while ' paint' may be added simply to explain pi6ga (of uncertain derivation), 'tawny, red.' Finally it seems in the senses of ' speak, shine' to connect itself with the suspicious groups of those meanings given above. On the whole, therefore, the weight of evidence appears to be less for than against its genuineness. Whatever proportion of the unauthenticated root-forms may be established as true, the doubtful aspect of' the great majority of them will probably remain unchanged; and this fact gives additional weight to the warning of Curtius: " Wer nicht bloss in Bezug auf die Laute sonderri auch in Bezug auf das geistigere Element der Sprache qenauigkeit erstrebt, der wird sich beim Etymologisiren vor den a p e v v v a x d p y v a der Wurzelverzeichnisse wohl zu hiiten haben."
