_Pronouns_ are a class of nouns, used instead of others to prevent
their disagreeable repetition. Participles are certain forms of the
verb. Articles, interjections, adverbs, prepositions, and
conjunctions, are contractions of abbreviations of nouns and verbs.
_An_ (_a, one_, or _one_) comes from _ananad_, to add, to heap.
_The_ and _that_, from the Anglo-Saxon verb _thean_, to get, assume.
_Lo_ is the imperative of _look_; _fy_, of _fian_, to hate; and
_welcome_ means, it is _well_ that you are _come. In_ comes from the
Gothic noun _inna_, the interior of the body; and _about_, from
_boda_, the first outward boundary. _Through_ or _thorough_ is the
Teutonic noun _thuruh_, meaning passage, gate, door. _From_ is the
Anglo-Saxon noun _frum_, beginning, source, author. He came _from
(beginning)_ Batavia. _If_ (formerly written _gif, give, gin_) is
the imperative of the Anglo-Saxon verb _gifan_, to give. I will
remain _if_ (_give_ or _grant that fact_) he will (_remain_.) _But_
comes from the Saxon verb _beon-utan_, to be-out. I informed no one
_but (be-out, leave-out)_ my brother.
