FLOW, L. fluo, contracted from fugo, for it forms fluri, fuctum. In one case, the word would agree with the root of blow, L. flo in the other, with the root of fly.

1. To move along an inclined plane, or on descending ground, by the operation of gravity, and with a continual change of place among the particles or parts, as a fluid. A solid body descends or moves in mass, as a ball or a wheel but in the flowing of liquid substances, and others consisting of very fine particles, there is a constant change of the relative position of some parts of the substance, as in the case with a stream of water, of quicksilver, and of sand. Particles at the bottom and sides of the stream, being somewhat checked by friction, move slower than those in the middle and near the surface of the current. Rivers flow from springs and lakes tears flow from the eyes.

2. To melt to become liquid.

That the mountains might flow down at they presence.

Isaiah 64 .

In that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk. Joel 3 .

5. To be full to be copious as flowing cups or goblets.

6. To glide along smoothly, without harshness or asperity as a flowing period flowing numbers.

7. To be smooth, as composition or utterance. The orator has a flowing tongue.

8. To hang loose and waving as a flowing mantle flowing locks.
