Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ana and Kata in Composition and With Case: A Dissertation Presented to the Board of University Studies of the Johns Hopkins University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The strongly marked relation of contrast existing between the particles c'wd and mud, whether as Separate words or in composition, throughout the literature from the earliest record invites an examination, in parallel treatment and with some measure of detail, of their use. This treatment requires con sideration of (i) the meaning of the particles; (2) the force of the cases employed; (3) parathetic combinations; (4) prepositional complexes.
The usual statement that the radical sense of o'wd is 'up', of xara'. 'down', while perhaps as close an approach to the truth as can be made by means of a definition compressed within the limits of a Single term, is necessarily misleading and is an illustration of the futility of the attempt to force one language into the mould of another. As well might one, upon noting the simultaneously equal speed of two projectiles in space, conclude that their initial velocity was the same.
