      PREFACE TO THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION

      It is now more than a quarter of a century since the first edition of the present work was published. It was hardly possible for me to ascertain, at that date, that the time of its publication was not a very favourable one ; it would, perhaps, have been better to have deferred its appearance for a few years, owing to the great advances that were being made, just at that period, in the methods of comparative philology. The whole system of estimating the vowel-sounds has since been com-pletely reconsidered, and the history of their phonetic values, in particular, is now regarded in a very different light.
      The chief writers on philology of that period, notably Curtius, Fick, Schleicher, and Vaniček agreed in the view, now known to be erroneous, that the primitive IndogermanicIndo-Germanic language had but three short primary vowels, viz.videlicet a, i, and u. This strange theory (for such we should now consider it) arose from the fact that the short primary vowels really were reduced to these three both in Gothic, which was justly regarded as being, upon the whole, the most primitive of the Teutonic (or Germanic) languages, and in Sanskrit, which was likewise known to possess many characteristics of extreme antiquity. But it is now recognized that more than half of the IndogermanicIndo-Germanic languages retain a primitive e, whilst just half of them retain a primitive o ; so that the number of primary short vowels was really five, viz.videlicet a, e, i, o, u. The primitive form corresponding to the Gk.Greek -τε, L.Latin -que, Skt.Sanskrit cha, signifying ‘and,’ must have been *que, rather than *qua, because the Skt.Sanskrit ch is a palatal sound, due to the palatal vowel e, which once followed it. In other words, the Skt.Sanskrit cha was once *che.
      The advance due to the following up of this discovery (for it was nothing less) has been very considerable. The whole subject has been thoroughly revised, and the results are fully exhibited in the Comparative Grammar of the IndogermanicIndo-Germanic Languages by Karl Brugmann ; as well as in the special German, Dutch, and Danish Etymological Dictionaries by Kluge, Franck, and Falk and Torp respectively. It is needless to add that the same correct principles have been adopted in the New English Dictionary.
      Owing to the large number of corrections which the use of the newer method renders imperative, I took the opportunity, in 1901, of printing an entirely new edition of my Concise Etymological Dictionary, first issued in 1882, and partially corrected in four later editions ; the result being that the edition of 1901 entirely supersedes all that preceded it.
      The time has now arrived when it has become absolutely necessary, in the same way, to reprint my larger Dictionary also. Alterations have now been made, more or less, in almost every article except such as are of the simplest character.
      Not only have the methods of comparative philology been greatly improved, but many valuable works on special subjects have appeared in recent years, as, for example, those by Kluge, Franck, Falk, Prellwitz, Bréal, Walde, Uhlenbeck, Godefroy, Hatzfeld, and others ; not one of these was avail-able in 1879–82. Above all, I have been much assisted by the admirable articles in the New English Dictionary, from the beginning of A down to Ph.Ph For the latter part of the alphabet, I have mainly consulted the Century Dictionary, the editors of which, by the way, of course had access to the second edition of the present work.

      PREFACE TO THE NEW AND REVISED EDITION

      It is now more than a quarter of a century since the first edition of the present work was published. It was hardly possible for me to ascertain, at that date, that the time of its publication was not a very favourable one ; it would, perhaps, have been better to have deferred its appearance for a few years, owing to the great advances that were being made, just at that period, in the methods of comparative philology. The whole system of estimating the vowel-sounds has since been com-pletely reconsidered, and the history of their phonetic values, in particular, is now regarded in a very different light.
      The chief writers on philology of that period, notably Curtius, Fick, Schleicher, and Vaniček agreed in the view, now known to be erroneous, that the primitive IndogermanicIndo-Germanic language had but three short primary vowels, viz.videlicet a, i, and u. This strange theory (for such we should now consider it) arose from the fact that the short primary vowels really were reduced to these three both in Gothic, which was justly regarded as being, upon the whole, the most primitive of the Teutonic (or Germanic) languages, and in Sanskrit, which was likewise known to possess many characteristics of extreme antiquity. But it is now recognized that more than half of the IndogermanicIndo-Germanic languages retain a primitive e, whilst just half of them retain a primitive o ; so that the number of primary short vowels was really five, viz.videlicet a, e, i, o, u. The primitive form corresponding to the Gk.Greek -τε, L.Latin -que, Skt.Sanskrit cha, signifying ‘and,’ must have been *que, rather than *qua, because the Skt.Sanskrit ch is a palatal sound, due to the palatal vowel e, which once followed it. In other words, the Skt.Sanskrit cha was once *che.
      The advance due to the following up of this discovery (for it was nothing less) has been very considerable. The whole subject has been thoroughly revised, and the results are fully exhibited in the Comparative Grammar of the IndogermanicIndo-Germanic Languages by Karl Brugmann ; as well as in the special German, Dutch, and Danish Etymological Dictionaries by Kluge, Franck, and Falk and Torp respectively. It is needless to add that the same correct principles have been adopted in the New English Dictionary.
      Owing to the large number of corrections which the use of the newer method renders imperative, I took the opportunity, in 1901, of printing an entirely new edition of my Concise Etymological Dictionary, first issued in 1882, and partially corrected in four later editions ; the result being that the edition of 1901 entirely supersedes all that preceded it.
      The time has now arrived when it has become absolutely necessary, in the same way, to reprint my larger Dictionary also. Alterations have now been made, more or less, in almost every article except such as are of the simplest character.
      Not only have the methods of comparative philology been greatly improved, but many valuable works on special subjects have appeared in recent years, as, for example, those by Kluge, Franck, Falk, Prellwitz, Bréal, Walde, Uhlenbeck, Godefroy, Hatzfeld, and others ; not one of these was avail-able in 1879–82. Above all, I have been much assisted by the admirable articles in the New English Dictionary, from the beginning of A down to Ph.Ph For the latter part of the alphabet, I have mainly consulted the Century Dictionary, the editors of which, by the way, of course had access to the second edition of the present work.
