But in this language tone is pressed into the service of ordinary in- tellectual distinction, and the words are multiplied to over fifteen hundred by the significant variety of into- nation. Nor are these words, like English monosyl- lables, worn-out relics, of a formerly inflected condition of speech ; there is no good reason to doubt their being the actual undeveloped roots of the language, analogous with the Indo-European roots except in the results of use by an enlightened community for com...munication and thought during thousands of years. They have been crowded with meanings of every kind, and of various degrees of formality ; they have been combined into standing phrases, with balance of parts and unity of emphasis, as in our I shaU have gone^ Jyy the way^ and so on; many of them have become auxiliaries, signs of relation, indicators of special uses analogous with those of our parts of speech; but yet they have never been made into actual parts of speech, nor united into inflectional systems.
