Note 200 — Chapter IX

In page 317, the author enumerated several Indian words which have a great similarity to Latin words of the same signification; and here we have another instance in aghni, ignis, fire. I shall take this opportunity of remarking, that several Lithuanian words have a great affinity to the Latin. Thus awis, ovis, a sheep; Dièwas, Deus, God; dantis, dens, a tooth; senis, senex, an old man; arru, aro, I plough; wirs, vir, a man; gentis, gentilis, a relation; rossa, ros, dew; angis, anguis, a snake; lupus, lupus, a wolf; naktis, nox, noctis, the night; tu, tu, thou; trys, tres, three. Dus Diewas dantes, dus Diewas dunes; dat Deus dentes, dat Deus panem.
