- Editor's Notes
- [enclosure to D8805AHH] "Your crticism on motograph is good; but whether a pure Greek word can be found that will be euphomisms is a question. The Greek verb for move is KIVEW and the word for motion is KIVISIS-Hence a word formed precisely like photograph and phonograph to express a picture of motion, would be KIVMSIGRAF or anglica Kinesigraph. Whether you will think this one available popular word I cannot say. I should approve it because a pure work regularly and legitimately formed." Yours [unclear] Dan "P.S. The E in Kinesigraph would of course be long and draw the account of that syllable." [Eaton marginalia: "Kineesigraph would [unclear] correct pronunciation"]
