sioei7i (Eng. swai7i), ysmio(j (vapom-) = Engl, smoke. On the
other hand, W. 2. 3. talu (solvere) and the German zahlen have,
perhaps, come from a common source.
The agreements of the Celtic -u^th all three languages, or, at
all events, with the Teutonic and Slavonian, at the same time,
are certainly not exceedingly numerous, but for the most part
all the more significant. Thus we again meet in Celtic with
certainly a part, and very probably others, of those very words
and forms which Schleicher has pointed out as exclusively
common to the Teutonic and Slavonian.
