oak_; i.e. a cask _made_ of oak; but a _beer_ cask, and a cask _of
beer_, are two different things. A _virtuous_ son; a son _of
virtue_.

The distinguishing characteristic of the adjective, appears to
consist in its both _naming_ a quality, and _attributing_ that
quality to some object.

The terminations _en, ed_, and _ig_ (our modern _y_,) signifying
_give, add, join_, denote that the names of qualities to which they
are postfixed, are to be attributed to other nouns possessing such
qualities: wood-_en_, wood-_y_. See page 37.

_Left_ is the past participle of the verb _leave_. Horne Tooke
defines _right_ to be that which is _ordered_ or _directed_. The
_right_ hand is that which your parents and custom direct you to use
in preference to the other. And when you employ that in preference,
the other is the _leaved, leav'd_, or _left_ hand; i.e. the one
_leaved_ or _left_. "The one shall be taken, and the other _(leaved)
left_."

_Own_. Formerly a man's _own_ was what he _worked for, own_ being a
past participle of a verb signifying to _work_.

_Restrictive_. Some restrictives, in modern times, are applied only
to singular nouns; such as _a_ or _an, another, one, this, that,
each, every, either_. Others, only to plural nouns; as, _these,
those, two, three, few, several, all_. But most restrictives, like
adjectives, are applied to both singular and plural nouns: _first,
second, last, the, former, latter, any, such, same, some, which,
what_.

_Numerals_. All numeration was, doubtless, originally performed by
the fingers; for the number of the fingers is still the utmost
extent of its signification. _Ten_ is the past participle of
_tynan_, to close, to shut in. The hands _tyned, tened_, closed, or
shut in, signified _ten_; for there numeration _closed_. To denote a
number greater than ten, we must begin again, _ten_ and _one, ten_
and _two_, &c.

_Twain, twa-in, twa-ain, twa-ane_, is a compound of _two (twa, twae,
twee, twi, two_ or _dwo_ or _duo)_ and _one (ane, ain, an.)_ It
signifies _two_ units _joined, united, aned,_ or _oned. Twenty
(twa-ane-ten)_ signifies _two tens aned, oned_, or _united_. Things
_separated_ into parcels of twenty each, are called _scores. Score_
is the past participle of _shear_, to _separate_.
