Again, we have a number of
words which end with M, a letter which suggests
the mooing of a cow, and is never the final letter
in any Greek word: for in its place they use the
letters nu, the sound of which is naturally pleasant
and produces a ringing tone when it occurs at the
end of' a word, whereas in Latin this termination is
scarcely ever found.
