The word complex has been in our dictionary for a long while. This familiar adjective has been made by certain scientific people into a noun, and for brevity and convenience employed to denote something that almost all of us harbor in some form or other.
Planning my life, as I now have to do " "Come away from those books," called Margaret. "Helen, do talk to me." "I was just saying that I have stopped living haphazard. One can't go through a great deal of" she missed out the noun "without planning one's actions in advance. I am going to have a child in June, and in the first place conversations, discussions, excitement, are not good for me.
Gräberg says Noun means the "river of eels," Davidson derives the name from a Portuguese queen called Nounah; but his editor says the name is properly Nul, was so written when the Arabs possessed Portugal, and that Queen Nunah is a modern invention. Whatever may have been Mr. Davidson's faults, I scarcely doubt that the first impressions of Mr. Consul-General Hay were correct.
The body is the storm centre, the origin of co-ordinates, the constant place of stress in all that experience-train. Everything circles round it, and is felt from its point of view. The word 'I, then, is primarily a noun of position, just like 'this' and 'here. Activities attached to 'this' position have prerogative emphasis, and, if activities have feelings, must be felt in a peculiar way.
Effectively the word asshur, sometimes written ashur, would be AXUL in Maya. A, in that language, placed before a noun, is the possessive pronoun, as the second person, thy or thine, and xul, means end, termination. It is also the name of the sixth month of the Maya calendar. Axul would therefore be thy end.
But when a poor Irish haymaker, who had but just learned a few phrases of the English language by rote, mistook a feminine for a masculine noun, and began his speech in a court of justice with these words: "My lord, I am a poor widow," instead of, "My lord, I am a poor widower;" it was sufficient to throw a grave judge and jury into convulsions of laughter.
Instead of inflecting the noun and then prefixing a number, they keep the noun unchanged and add two numerals; thus at times actually employing more words to express the objects than there are objects to express. One of these numerals is a simple number; the other is what is known as an auxiliary numeral, a word as singular in form as in function.
T. Very right; it means an ascent. Now how comes it to mean an ascent? What is it derived from? Anabasis … it is the nominative. T. Quite right: but what part of speech is it? C. A noun,—a noun substantive. T. Very well; a noun substantive, now what is the verb that anabasis is derived from? C. is silent. T. From the verb ἀναβαίνω, isn’t it? from ἀναβαίνω. C. Yes. T. Just so.
Johnson did not know the somewhat vulgar word which heads this paper. At least he did not know it as a noun, but gives "swagger: v.n., to bluster, bully, brag;" but the Slang Dictionary admits it as a word, springing indeed from the thieves' vocabulary: "one who carries a swag."
What must be said first and what afterwards? "Take note," Yegor went on writing, "in volume five of the Army Regulations soldier is a common noun and a proper one, a soldier of the first rank is called a general, and of the last a private...." The old man stirred his lips and said softly: "It would be all right to have a look at the grandchildren."
