NOTES

[1] Qu. the people of Euten, in Holstein.

[2] Zeus, p. 591.

[3] From Zeuss, v. v. Frisii, Chauci.

[4] The chief works in the two dialects or languages.

[5] Probably, for reasons, too long to enter upon, those of Grutungs and Tervings; this latter pointing to Thuringia, the present provincial dialect of which tract was stated, even by Michaelis, to be more like the Mœso-Gothic than any other dialect of Germany.

[6] Nearly analogous to Ostro-goth, and Visi-goth.

[7] The meaning of these terms is explained in [§ 90]-92. The order of the cases and genders is from Rask. It is certainly more natural than the usual one.

[8] Compare with the Anglo-Saxon adjectives in [§ 85].
