WORD OF THE DAY
presumed
The prologue may not be historical; but it is to be presumed that it deals with historical possibilities, and is good evidence thus far.
A landlord is not presumed to have undertaken to put the premises in repair, nor to execute repairs.
By some it is identified with the modern village of Bacoli (owing to a presumed similarity to the ancient name), 2 m.

The characteristic triliteral roots of all the Semitic languages seemed to separate them widely from others; but certain traits have caused the Egyptian, Berber and Cushite groups to be classed together as three subfamilies of a Hamitic group, remotely related to the Semitic. The biliteral character of Coptic, and the biliteralism which was believed to exist in Egyptian, led philologists to suspect that Egyptian might be a surviving witness to that far-off stage of the Semitic languages when triliteral roots had not yet been formed from presumed original biliterals; Sethes investigations, however, prove that the Coptic biliterals are themselves derived from Old Egyptian triliterals, and that the triliteral roots enormously preponderated in Egyptian of the earliest known form; that view is, therefore, no longer tenable.
