[The long tried methods of Indo-European linguistics have proved themselves by the success with which they have been applied to other fields, for instance Central Algonkian and Athabaskan. An increasing interest in linguistics may be noted among workers in anthropology, culture history, sociology, psychology, and philosophy. For all of them linguistics is of basic importance: its data and methods show better than those of any other discipline dealing with socialized behavior the possibility of a truly scientific study of society. Linguists should, on the other hand, become aware of what their science may mean for the interpretation of human conduct in general.]

[The untenability of Zimmer's hypothesis that the r-endings of Italic and Celtic come from an IE third plural active ending, which developed into an impersonal passive or ‘man‘-form.]

[Genitives in -ais (and -ai) from io-stems are assumed to contain *-ois, the ending of the IE i-stems. Attention is directed to the same meta-plasm in Oscan-Umbrian. Messapian -aihi, etc., may continue *-ois-i, and contain a double genitival ending, if the last syllable is to be connected with the genitival -ī of Latin and Celtic.]

[Sketch of the use of this term. Marty's understanding of it, while not coinciding with v. Humboldt's usage, is an important contribution to linguistic thought. However, in Marty's sense it is better to speak of ‘bridge meanings’. The various other meanings that have been attached to the phrase ‘inner form’ had better be expressed by less ambiguous terms.]
