  Compare also the innumerable words, derived from the root Gas, Which imply an en‐ closed and fortified space. Case, castle, chest, cyst, chaste, incest and so on.    The primary radicle in all this class of words is the guttural. Observe the Hebrew attri‐ butions: Gimel, the moon; Cheth, Cancer, the house of the moon; Kaph, the Wheel; Qoph, the  Moon, XVIII, Guttur, the throat. Sounds so made suggest the other throat; one is the channel of  respiration and nutrition, the other of reproduction and elimination.
