“To the line succeeded the creation of motion in the proportion of the number three, as is indicated by the name of the number in basque, i-r-u, which signifies literally of lineal movement abundance ; it is composed of the modulation i, before explained, of the note of motion r, and of the abundantial letter u.”

“The -udo type first became rare in prose; but as a qualifier (referring especially to persons), it maintained a certain vitality, probably supported by the (denominal) abundantial -udo adjectives (e.g., barbudo 'heavily bearded").”

“The latter meaning is by no means marginal and often edges itself into central position; thus, wordy seldom maans 'verbal, pertaining to or consistig of words', signifying normally 'verbose, characterized by or given to the use of many, or too many, words', an abundantial semantic streak even more clearly predominant in the abstract wordiness.”
