3. The Greek Word List . The Greek word list has been
formed on absolutely the same plan as the Latin word list .
It must be confessed , however , that the ultimate source words
have not been sought so consistently as in the Latin list . This
was due to the fact that the derivatives from any one word
14 Indiana University Studies
were usually few , that the ultimate source word seemed often
rather remote from its English derivative , and that the time
that could be put upon the work was limited .
