For much of the 19th and early 20th centuries, many linguists who studied Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungusic regarded them as members of a common Ural – Altaic family, together with Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic, based on such shared features as vowel harmony and agglutination.

For centuries after the fall of the Achaemenid Empire in 331 BCE, Imperial Aramaic — or near enough for it to be recognisable — would remain an influence on the various native Iranian languages.

For many centuries following his death Alboin's heroism and his success in battle were celebrated in Saxon and Bavarian epic poetry.

For the next four centuries, the Kingdom of Croatia was ruled by the Sabor ( parliament ) and a Ban ( viceroy ) appointed by the king.

For example, the word chief ( meaning the leader of any group ) comes from the Middle French chef (" head "), and its modern pronunciation preserves the Middle French consonant sound ; the word chef ( the leader of the cooks ) was borrowed from the same source centuries later, by which time the consonant had changed to a " sh "- sound in French.

For several centuries in some of the greater monasteries the two rules were observed conjointly.

For centuries, through the modern times, the majority regarded Cagots of western France and northern Spain as an inferior caste, the untouchables.

For the upper class of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, diplomatic immunity was an easy concept to understand.

For centuries, Dominicans have been instrumental in spreading the rosary and emphasizing the Catholic belief in the power of the rosary.

For centuries Egyptians attempted to predict and take advantage of these flows and thereby moderate the severity of floods.

For centuries sweetwater artesian wells in the Fayyum Oasis have permitted extensive cultivation in an irrigated area that extends over.

For centuries, many philosophers and scientists supposed that extrasolar planets existed, but there was no way of knowing how common they were or how similar they might be to the planets of the Solar System.

For centuries it was stored in the Royal Library in Copenhagen but in 1971 it was returned to Iceland.

For centuries some Western Latin Bibles used to contain a small Epistle from Paul to the Laodiceans.

For many centuries the Enchiridion was regarded as a suitable manual of practical philosophy, maintaining its authority both with Christians and Pagans.

For ships, a kedge may be dropped while a ship is underway, or carried out in a suitable direction by a tender or ship's boat to enable the ship to be winched off if aground or swung into a particular heading, or even to be held steady against a tidal or other stream.

" For example, the play's Verona is situated on a tidal river and has a duke, and none of the characters have distinctly Italian names like in the later plays.

For example, the solid part of the Earth is affected by tides, though this is not as easily seen as the water tidal movements.

For a given ( externally-generated ) gravitational field, the tidal acceleration at a point with respect to a body is obtained by vectorially subtracting the gravitational acceleration at the center of the body ( due to the given externally-generated field ) from the gravitational acceleration ( due to the same field ) at the given point.

For example, the lunar tidal acceleration at the Earth's surface along the Moon-Earth axis is about 1. 1 × 10 < sup >− 7 </ sup > g, while the solar tidal acceleration at the Earth's surface along the Sun-Earth axis is about 0. 52 × 10 < sup >− 7 </ sup > g, where g is the gravitational acceleration at the Earth's surface.

For similar reasons, they are also common in tidal creeks, where tides bring in large amounts of coastal silts and muds.

For large astronomical bodies which are near-spherical due to self-gravitation, the tidal distortion produces a slightly prolate spheroid-i. e., an axially symmetric ellipsoid that is elongated along its major axis.

For the other case where B starts off rotating too slowly, tidal locking both speeds up its rotation, and lowers its orbit.

For many years Yarm was at the tidal limit and head of navigation on the River Tees.

For example, Saturn's Enceladus and Jupiter's Io have enough tidal heating to liquify its inner core, even if a moon is not conductive to support a dynamo.

For example, in a study of the Eastern Chongming Island and Jiuduansha Island tidal marshes at the mouth of the Yangtze River, China, the amount of sediment adhering to the species Spartina alterniflora, Phragmites australis, and Scirpus mariqueter decreased with distance from the highest levels of suspended sediment concentrations ( found at the marsh edge bordering tidal creeks or the mudflats ); decreased with those species at the highest elevations, which experienced the lowest frequency and depth of tidal inundations ; and increased with increasing plant biomass.

:: Example: For a tidal volume of 500 mL, an arterial carbon dioxide of 42 mmHg, and an end-expired carbon dioxide of 40 mmHg:

For example, a spaceship falling into a black hole or neutron star would ( at a certain distance ) be subjected to tidal forces so strong that it would be crushed.

For example, the Arcachon lagoon is a tidal inlet system in South west France, which provides large sources and sinks for longshore drift sediments.

For shallow water waves, like for instance tidal waves and the hydraulic jump, the characteristic velocity V is the average flow velocity, averaged over the cross-section perpendicular to the flow direction.

For the Limehouse Cut, Yeoman proposed a cut from Bow tidal gates to Dingley's Wharf at Limehouse, which would shorten the distance to London considerably, since it would avoid the long passage around the Isle of Dogs.

: For the tidal estuary in Carteret County, North Carolina, see South River ( Neuse River estuary ).

For larger bodies, tidal effects can cause orbital decay, and for even larger ones gravitational radiation can have an effect.

For objects that are not spherically symmetrical, the rotation period is in general not fixed, even in the absence of gravitational or tidal forces.

For the rest of the tidal cycle the sluice gates are closed, and ships and boats must use the lock alongside the barrage at a cost of £ 5 per boat.

For gravitational fields, the absence or presence of tidal forces determines whether or not the influence of gravity can be eliminated by choosing a freely falling reference frame.
