[Greek perfects in -ϕα or -χα from verb-stems ending in π, κ, or γ owe the aspiration to Indo-Hittite perfect endings beginning with a voiceless laryngeal: 1st sg. -xa and 3d pl. .]

[Merely determinative compounds, though common in many modern IE languages, represent a rare type in Primitive IE. Of the few Greek examples found as early as Homer, adjectives with παv- are the most characteristic. Their secondary origin from regular ‘exocentric’ types can still be traced in the epic. This is typical for the development of determinative composition in general, in Greek as well as in other IE languages.]

[The Slavic languages, with the exception of Bulgarian, in contrast with the languages of western Europe, have preserved the IE nominal inflection but have simplified the verbal system. Russian has gone farthest in this direction. Original auxiliaries in Russian have become particles; all finite verb forms except those of the present tense have been replaced by nominal or participial constructions.]

[In the actor-action-goal construction and in the character-substance (or modifier-noun) construction, Old English used taxemes of selection (inflected forms) to distinguish between actor (subject) and goal (object), and to indicate the direction of modification. The development of English has been away from the use of taxemes of selection with non-distinctive and connotative word-order, toward the use of taxemes of order operating practically without the aid of other devices. The patterns of the Modern English use seem to have been established by the middle of the 15th century.]

[Like the other compounds of the root ag-, the OIr. verb imm·aig should regularly form a suppletivistic future imm·ebla from the stem ebl-. Though imm·ebla actually occurs in a rhetorical text, its identification hitherto has been obscured by tmesis.]

Caxambas Pass is the name of a stream that divides Marco Island from Cape Romano, off the southwestern coast of Florida. A modern hamlet on the island is also called Caxambas. The stream was formerly designated as a bay, and the variant Caximbas was likewise applied to a river on the mainland in this vicinity.

In LANG. 11.140-7 some notes were presented on the English dialect of Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. On pp. 146-7 there was given a handful of words still in more or less general use which are survivals of the original German speech of the inhabitants of this town. Recently another interesting word which still preserves great vitality has returned to my memory.
