{Sidenote: _Naturalization of Words_}

A great many too _were_ allowed and adopted, but not exactly in the shape
in which they first were introduced among us; they were made to drop
their foreign termination, or otherwise their foreign appearance, to
conform themselves to English ways, and only so were finally incorporated
into the great family of English words{51}. Thus of Greek words we have
the following: 'pyramis' and 'pyramides', forms often employed by
Shakespeare, became 'pyramid' and 'pyramids'; 'dosis' (Bacon) 'dose';
'distichon' (Holland) 'distich'; 'hemistichion' (North) 'hemistich';
'apogaeon' (Fairfax) and 'apogeum' (Browne) 'apogee'; 'sumphonia'
(Lodge) 'symphony'; 'prototypon' (Jackson) 'prototype'; 'synonymon'
(Jeremy Taylor) or 'synonymum' (Hacket), and 'synonyma' (Milton, prose),
became severally 'synonym' and 'synonyms'; 'syntaxis' (Fuller) became
'syntax'; 'extasis' (Burton) 'ecstasy'; 'parallelogrammon' (Holland)
'parallelogram'; 'programma' (Warton) 'program'; 'epitheton' (Cowell)
'epithet'; 'epocha' (South) 'epoch'; 'biographia' (Dryden) 'biography';
'apostata' (Massinger) 'apostate'; 'despota' (Fox) 'despot';
'misanthropos' (Shakespeare) if 'misanthropi' (Bacon) 'misanthrope';
'psalterion' (North) 'psaltery'
