All the Mongol chiefs were summoned to the grand council or Kuriltai of the tribe, and around the national ensign, composed of nine white yak-tails, planted in the centre of the camp, the warriors gathered to hear the opinion of their chief. It may be said here that there are almost as many spellings of this name as there are historians of the deeds of him that bore it.
Great writers sometimes introduced spellings of their own. He also brought the superlative simus into use. Augustus, following in his steps, paid great attention to orthography. His inscriptions are a valuable source of evidence for ascertaining the correctest spelling of the time.
"How did you know about hydrophobia?" "We had it in spellings last week," Robert explained. "The deuce you did!" muttered Edward Henry. The one bright facet of the many-sided and gloomy crisis was the very obvious truth that Robert was the most extraordinary child that ever lived. "But when on earth did you get at the Encyclopaedia, Robert?" his mother exclaimed, completely at a loss.
What a perpetual fund would it have been of obsolete words and phrases, unusual barbarisms and rusticities, absurd spellings and complicated dialects! I make no question but that it would have been looked upon as one of the most valuable treasuries of the Greek tongue.
In too many elementary schools the children are engaged either in laboriously doing nothing, in listening, for example, with ill-concealed yawns, to lectures on history, geography, nature-study, and the rest; or in doing what is only one degree removed from nothing, working mechanical sums, transcribing lists of spellings or pieces of composition, drawing diagrams which have no meaning for them, and so forth.
"Of course I promise." Robert at length stood up, to judge for himself this strange and agitating caprice of his father's for taking Maisie to London. He saw that, despite spellings, it would never do to let Maisie alone go. Carlo followed him, wagging an untidy tail. "Hello, Trent!" murmured Edward Henry, stooping and patting the dog. Ralph exploded into loud laughter.
The Latin word humanus took over this double meaning, which is somewhat arbitrarily marked in English by the spellings human and humane. On the other hand, man cannot be content, like 'the other animals' to remain in ignorance. The mathematical studies of the Pythagoreans soon brought them face to face with the idea of a constant approximation which never reaches its goal.
Other spellings are "Youta," "Eutaw," "Utaw," and "Utah," which is now the accepted one. The Utes, unquestionably, were the Indians concerned in the "Mountain Meadows Massacre."
