An examination of the names of some of the principal gods of Egypt, Greece, Italy, and India, by means of a comparison of the languages of all the Four Continents, will be found in a very striking manner to illustrate at once the foregoing philological results, and also the origin of those names, and of the systems of Idolatry to which they belonged.
Hor. Hor-us, “The God of Day,” (Egypt,) already explained.
Indra, The Indian “God of Day,” previously explained.
Surya, The Indian “God of the Sun.” His Orb personified, (Sanscrit.) Osira Osiri, and Serap-is or Sorop-is, (believed to have been the same as Osiri,) “Gods of the Sun,” (Egypt.)
The same change of inflection which is observable when “Surya and Osira” are compared with Sero-p-is, occurs in the following:
Surie, Sorrie, Sorré, Sore, “The Sun,” (Hottentots.)
Sor o h-b, “The Sun,” (Corona Hottentots.)
The same change occurs also in the following:
Z.e.r, “To shine brightly,” Sh. r.-ph, “To burn,” Sh.r-ph eem, “Seraphs,” (Hebrew.)
Auror-a, “The Goddess of The Dawn,” (Latin.)
