Grim reaper scythe skallgrim12/23/2023 R as a vowel has survived in the vowel, l as a separate vowel has perished, but its semivowel value survives in the metrical peculiarity of the Latin tongue of which a faint trace survives in Sanskrit, by which l & r in a conjunct consonant may or may not, at will, affect the quantity of the preceding syllable. Another conjunct vowel l is a survival of a more ancient order of things in which l and r no less than v and y were considered as semivowels or rather as either vowel or consonant according to usage. The diphthongsn ai and au with their Greek variations ei and ou are tertiary modifications of e & o. The modified vowels e and o are in the Aryan languages secondary sounds conjunct of a and i, a and u. The elementary vowel roots which concern us, are the roots a (), i (), u () & (), the semivowel roots the V & Y families. They to some extent arranged language in its development instead of merely allowing it to develop fortuitously its own arrangement. They developed language from the essential force of the sounds they used with some sort of philosophical harmony and rational order. But the speakers of the Aryan language were not, according to my theory, entirely primitive and undeveloped. These ideas inherent in knowledge would in a primitive race work themselves out dimly, by a slow process, from the initial expression of immediate feelings, experiences, sensations and needs. The elementary roots of language are in sound the vowel or semivowel roots, and in sense those which convey the fundamental idea of being, burdened with the cognate & immediately resultant ideas of the substance that pervades and the motion that bridges the space & time through which being expresses itself, in which it exists and relates its different points to each other.
