In Figure 65, the two instances of Latin bon* match only its conventional equivalents in German gut* and Güte (A and B), in contrast to the broader range of correspondences in German of words such as miser*. Like bon*, the related Latin word benignita* (example C) has only its conventional equivalent gut* as a correspondence in the German data. Prudenter (D) shows that as with the English-German set, the German word (gut*) is a closer match for the Hebrew towb than for Latin prudenter.
