Paragogē. An outbringing or outlengthening of a word.
A paragogē will be found
Where words are lengthened by a sound.
‘Such a sweet pett as this
Is neither far nor neary.
Here we go up, up, up;
Here we go down, down, downy.
Here we go backwards and forwards,
And here we go round, round, roundy.’
Old Song.
‘In playhouses, full six-o,
One knows not where to fix-o.’
Old Song.
Paragraph. An offwriting, a wording-share; such a share of a piece of writing as, if it were offwritten, would not want anything of a full meaning.
Paraphrase. New bewording; a turning of a piece of writing into other words, often more if not clearer than those of the writer. A paraphrase, while it is meant to clearen, may falsen the paraphrased matter. The following paraphrase from an old written sermon of (as I believe) an old Dorset divine, may be a good sample of new bewording:—
‘God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this Publican: I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.’
