Par. 225, 226.] "E VER Y, ". ONE." O

145

Here also "their homes" for " his llome" is hardly
logically correct.1
The following line of Pope is an example showing that,
though " all " takes a Plural, " each " does not: -
(5) " All join to guard what each desires to gain."
225 2. "Every" (once "ever-each,") is used like
" a" before a Numeral Adjective and Noun: -
(1) " There is a lamp-post every hundred yards."
(2) " He wakes up every ten minutes."
In such cases probably " ten-minutes," " hundredyards," are Compound Nouns like "fo(u)rt(een)night," "twelve-month." See Par. 214.
226 3. " One " (which is the same word, by derivation, as " ane," " an," " a ") may mean (a) a particular "one; " (b) any " one " you like; (c) a single
"one; " (d) being used for " one person " or " one
thing," it has come to mean a "person," "animal,"
(e.g. " young ones,") or " thing " -
(b) " One knows very well that perseverance is necessary for success," Pronoun: "any one."
(d) "All creatures love their young ones," Noun.
(1) "I do not like this book; give me that one."
(2) " I have no book; give me one."
In (1) " one " is a Pronoun put for "book;" in
(2) an Adjective (with the Noun to be supplied)
put for "one (book) " or "' a (book)." Sometimes
the meaning of " one" depends on its emphasis.
1 The Latins would have used the Singular "domum."
