[427β]
τὴν δύναμιν χρήσιμον φαίνεται ἡγήσασθαι πρὸς τὴν μίμησιν τοῦ ‘δεσμοῦ’ καὶ τῆς ‘στάσεως.’ ὅτι δὲ ὀλισθάνει μάλιστα ἐν τῷ λάβδα ἡ γλῶττα κατιδών, ἀφομοιῶν ὠνόμασε τά τε ‘λεῖα’ καὶ αὐτὸ τὸ ‘ὀλισθάνειν’ καὶ τὸ ‘λιπαρὸν’ καὶ τὸ ‘κολλῶδες’ καὶ τἆλλα πάντα τὰ τοιαῦτα. ᾗ δὲ ὀλισθανούσης τῆς γλώττης ἀντιλαμβάνεται ἡ τοῦ γάμμα δύναμις, τὸ ‘γλίσχρον’ ἀπεμιμήσατο καὶ ‘γλυκὺ’ καὶ ‘γλοιῶδες.’
