The word polysyllable is used to include dissyllables, unless otherwise implied.
I had hoped to get out this volume by Christmas last. The delay is due partly to the waste of time in sending proofs to and fro from Germany, and partly to the almost ceaseless pressure of other duties.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the numeral systems used in Indo-Germanic languages. The author traces their development from a common proto-language and examines their variations across different branches. Drawing on insights from linguistics, philology, and comparative grammar, the book explores the diverse ways in which languages represent numbers, including both cardinal numerals (e.g., one, two, three) and ordinal numerals (e.g., first, second, third). The author uncovers patterns and connections within these systems, shedding light on the historical evolution of language and offering valuable insights into the cognitive processes involved in numerical thinking.
