warres the south; from retineo, the north retine, the south retain; from
foras, the north foran, the south forain; from regnu_m_, the north
regne, the south raigne; from cor, the north corage, the south courage;
from devoro, the north devore, the south devour; from vox, the north
voce, the south voice; from devoveo, the north devote, the south
devoute; from guerrum, the north were, the south war; from gigas,
gigantis, the north gyant, the south giaunt; from mons, montis, the
north mont, the south mount. Of this I cold reckon armies, but wil not
presume to judge farther then the compasse of my awn cap, for howbeit we
keep nearar the original, yet al tongues have their idiom in borrowing
from the latin, or other foran tongues.

quhither their intervenes a voual or noe.
