CHAMBERS'S TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

PRONOUNCING, EXPLANATORY, ETYMOLOGICAL, WITH COMPOUND PHRASES, TECHNICAL TERMS IN USE IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES, COLLOQUIALISMS, FULL APPENDICES, AND COPIOUSLY ILLUSTRATED

LONDON: 47 Paternoster Row W. & R. CHAMBERS, LIMITED EDINBURGH: 339 High Street 1908

EXPLANATIONS TO THE STUDENT.

THE ETYMOLOGY.--The Etymology of each word is given after the meanings, within brackets. Where further information regarding a word is given elsewhere, it is so indicated by a reference. It must be noted under the etymology that whenever a word is printed thus, BAN, BASE, the student is referred to it; also that here the sign--is always to be read as meaning 'derived from.' Examples are generally given of words that are cognate or correspond to the English words; but it must be remembered that they are inserted merely for illustration. Such words are usually separated from the rest by a semicolon. For instance, when an English word is traced to its Anglo-Saxon form, and then a German word is given, no one should suppose that our English word is derived from the German. German and Anglo-Saxon are alike branches from a common Teutonic stem, and have seldom borrowed from each other. Under each word the force of the prefix is usually given, though not the affix. For fuller explanation in such cases the student is referred to the list of Prefixes and Suffixes in the Appendix.

Minulta j?i navettaan kaikki sikin sokin. Kapasin vain k?teeni maito?mp?rin ja l?ksin kiireesti tupaan, sammunut lyhty mukanani. Ajattelin tulla uudelleen navettaan toimiani lopettelemaan, mutta niin ei k?ynyt.

?iti oli jo taas laskeutunut vuoteeseen. H?n n?ytti tuskautuneelta, mutta sent??n h?n nousi ja tuli minua kohden ovelle p?in.

-- Miss? olet viipynyt n?in kauan? sanoi h?n ja l?im?ytti minua korvalle.
