Nequicquam populo bibulas donaveris Aures; Respue quod non es. Persius, Sat.

Suliman came and told me one day that his mother was carrying food to Scharnhoff, taking it to a little house in a street that runs below the Haram-es-Sheriff.

But with the aid of Suliman's mother he made the acquaintance of our friend Noureddin Ali, who has a friend, who in turn has a brother, who owns a little house in that street below the Haram-es-Sheriff.

The Dome of the Rock stands in the middle of that great courtyard, with the buildings of the Haram-es-Sheriff surrounding it on every side, and hardly a stone in the foundations weighing less than ten tons.

He knows who the owner is of every bit of property surrounding the Haram-es-Sheriff; he's made it his business to find out.

Poor old Scharnhoff's in the soup!" Quite suddenly after that we reached a fairly wide street and the arched Byzantine gateway of the Haram-es-Sheriff, through which we could see tall cypress trees against the moonlit sky and the dome of the mosque beyond them.

The suggestion did not seem any more unreal to me than the moonlit panorama of the Haram-es-Sheriff, or the Sikh who had stepped out of nowhere-at-all to "Imshi" me away.

I had nearly reached the Haram-es-Sheriff, and was passing a platoon of Sikhs who dozed beside their rifles near a street corner, when Grim's voice hailed me through the half-open door behind them.

"Es-selam alekoum, ya Habib habiby!"

Hence there is a harshness, if not an impropriety, in that syllabication which some have recently adopted, wherein they accommodate to the ear the division of such words as maj-es-ty, proj-ect, traj-ect,eq-ui-ty, liq-ui-date, ex-cheq-uer.

Lowth supposes the verbal termination s or es to have come from a contraction of eth.

The ending seems once to have been es, sounded as s or z: as, "And thus I see among these pleasant thynges Eche care decayes, and yet my sorrow sprynges."Earl of Surry.

The es does not here form a syllable; neither does the eth, in "lyeth" and "dyeth."

In very ancient times, the third person singular appears to have been formed by adding th or eth nearly as we now add s or es Afterwards, as in our common Bible, it was formed by adding th to verbs ending in e, and eth to all others; as, "For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself."1

In these, y is changed into i; and, to both o and i, est and es are added without increase of syllables: as, I go, thou goest, he goes; I undo, thou undoest, he undoes; I fly, thou fliest, he flies; I pity, thou pitiest, he pities.

39.The only regular terminations that are added to English verbs, are ing, d or e, st or est, s or es, th or eth Ing, and th or eth, always add a syllable to the verb; except in doth, hath, saith.

Thus the plural termination en has become entirely obsolete; th or eth is no longer in common use; ed is contracted in pronunciation; the ancient ys or is, of the third person singular, is changed to s or es, and is usually added without increase of syllables; and st or est has, in part, adopted the analogy.

Est, like es, is generally a syllabic termination; but st, like s, is not.

As signs of the third person, the s and the es are always considered equivalent; and, as signs of the second person, the st and the est are sometimes, and ought to be always, considered so too.

To all verbs that admit the sound, we add the s without marking it as a contraction for es; and there seems to be no reason at all against adding the st in like manner, whenever we choose to form the second person without adding a syllable to the verb.

'YOU WERE TOLD THIS,' Hoc tibi dictum est; not, Tu dictus es."

[No, surely: for, 'Tu dictus es,' means, 'You were called,' or, 'Thou art reputed;'and, if followed by any case, it must be the nominative.']

he passed me, en waited at de corner I war a feeling creepy en wanter run but jes couldn't git my laigs ter move en wen I'se git ter de corner war he war I said 'Good Ebening' en I seed him plain es day en de did not speak en jes disappeared right fore my eyes.
