This habit gives us three correlative adverbs--one of _position_, and two

s. 382. It is also a common practice of language to depart from the
original expression of each particular idea, and to interchange the signs
by which they are expressed; so that a word originally expressive of simple

direction, _or motion between two places_. Hence we say, _come here_, when
_come hither_ would be the more correct expression.

s. 383. The full amount of change in this respect may be seen from the

s. 384. Local terminations of this kind, in general, were commoner in the
