(Abh. der Berl. Akad., 1824, page 119.) This view has also been extended and systematized by Schleicher. Having thus briefly characterized Bopp's fundamental views, I will now give a more detailed account of his ideas concerning changes in language, and will classify them in accordance with the categories introduced by Bopp himself: mechanical and physical laws. The effect of Bopp's so - called mechanical laws is especially visible in the changes which the weight of the personal endings produces in the stem. A light ending follows a heavy form of the stem, e. g. emi Igo, from igo; but before a heavy ending a light stem-form alone is permitted, e. g. imds we go. The same law accounts for the German Ablaut, which is preserved to the present day in weiss and wis- sen. These facts, which were first formulated by Bopp, we now explain in a different manner, by ascribing the weakening of certain syllables no longer to a law of relative weight, but to the power exercised by the accent of the following syllable. Beside the influence of the weight of the personal endings, Bopp recognizes another action of this law of gravity, which will be apparent from the following examples. It is the task of the stem-syllables to carry the formative syllables, and it sometimes happens that a stem-syllable is not strong enough for this purpose. We have such an instance in the Sanskrit imperative cinu gather, from ci; Bopp here remarks that the sign nu is only able to carry the ending hi when the u is supported by two preceding consonants, as for example in apnuhi. But where the u is only preceded by a single consonant, it has become incapable of carrying the ending hi, hence cinu 'gather', from ci.' ( 451.) In a similar manner Bopp explains the circumstance that the per...
