Enough (Vol. vii., p. 455.).—Enough was not, and is not always, nor was it originally, pronounced enuf. The old way of writing was "ynou, inouh, ynowgh;" and in Gower, enough is made to rhyme with slough, i. e. slow or slew, the past tense of slay. Mr. Wright will find this to be so by looking into Richardson's quotations. The word, he will see also, was from very early times written, as still not unfrequently pronounced, enew or enow.
