Tung meaning
… ever exposed to their envy, and the tung of slander …
Our common orthography is incorrect; the true spelling is tung.
… words to be spoken with the understanding, that I may teach others also, than myriads of words, in a tung. ... In the law, it hath been written, That, with other tungs and other lips I will speak to this people, and then they will not hear ...
If they've got anything to say which they want you to hear, let 'em say it out; if not, hold their tungs.
English has strength, simplicity, conciseness, capacity for taking words freely from other tungs, and best of all has the greatest literature the world has yet produced.
