助记提示


1. 形近词:marrow, barrow, harrow, farrow, narrow.
2. harrow => h-: harvest, harry.
3. farrow => f-: pork.
4. barrow => b-: bear.
5. 这契合了马秉义提出的首辅音表词类含义的理论,其后的元音及辅音的音变、变化导致含义的分化、细化。
6. farrow与fallow的区别就要看中间的辅音了,前者pork中间是r, 后者*pel-中间是l, 由此就区分开了,因为中间的辅音也是保持相对稳定的。
7. 这种首辅音规律是针对没有前缀后缀的独体词和词根的,不适用于包括前缀后缀的复合词。
8. Farrow: 肥肉,猪全身是肥肉----一窝小猪,(母猪)生产。

英文词源


farrow
farrow: [OE] Farrow, nowadays used mainly as a verb for ‘give birth to a litter of pigs’, originally meant ‘young pig’. Its ultimate source was Indo- European *porkos (from which English also gets pork). The Germanic descendant of this was *farkhaz, which produced German ferkel ‘young pig’ and Dutch varken ‘pig’ (as in aardvark, literally ‘earth-pig’, originally from Afrikaans) as well as farrow.
=> aardvark, pork
farrow (n.)
Old English fearh "young pig," from Proto-Germanic *farkhaz "young pig" (cognates: Middle Low German ferken, Dutch varken, both diminutives; Old High German farh, German Ferkel "young pig, suckling pig"), from PIE *porko- (see pork (n.)). Sense of "a litter of pigs" first recorded 1570s, probably via the verb ("to bring forth piglets," of a sow), which is attested from early 13c.
