A Suggestion to the Pupil

As you advance in your studies and are pro-

moted to higher grades new and more difficult
questions will continually arise. You will often
feelthe need of a larger and more complete dic-
tionary to answer many puzzling questions in spell-
ing, language work, history,geography, and
science. A new dictionary,
Webster's Collegi-
—
ate, Third Edition, has just been issued to meet
your needs. This new book is the largest and
latest abridgment of Webster's New Inter-
national, the parent dictionary of the latest
Merriam-Webster series, justly known as the
One Supreme Authority. At school you probably
have access to one or both of these dictionaries,
but do you know that study at home is made easier
and is more quickly accom-
plished when you have there
the opportunity to use one of
the larger dictionaries ? Have
you a New International
or Collegiate in your home ?

 PREFACE.

The High School Dictionary here presented is compiled from

Webster's International Dictionary of the English Language. As that
work replaced Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, so this is designed to
take the place of the High School Dictionary originally prepared by Mr.
William G. Webster, in 1848. In 1857, Mr. Webster published a re-
vision of this work, containing a vocabulary of the more common words
which constitute the body of our language, with many technical terms in
the sciences and arts. That book was in turn revised and enlarged by
Mr. William A. Wheeler, in 1868. The present volume is an entirely
new work, and contains many words and definitions not to be found in
its predecessors. Its purpose is to give the correct orthography, pronun-
ciation, and definition of all words which pupils in High Schools are
likely to meet with.
The pronunciation of every word is clearly shown by respelling with
phonetic markings that are explained in the key lines below the pages.
For the first time in a school dictionary, the pronunciation of unaccented
syllables is thus accurately indicated.
The addition of many new words, and the free use of illustrations to
help in understanding the subject, have not excessively increased the bulk
of the volume. Condensation has been accomplished by omitting defini-
tions of derived words (mostly adverbs, adjectives, and abstract nouns)
which are self-explaining as soon as the root word is understood and, ;

further, such derivatives have usually been grouped in the same para-
graph with the root word, where this could be done without interrupting
the alphabetical order. On the other hand, care has been taken to dis-
criminate between words of the same spelling and pronunciation, but of
different etymology and meaning. For instance, Sound is a form repre
senting/bwr words of the same pronunciation but of widely different ori-

gin and sense. In older dictionaries such words appeared as one word
with different meanings. This mode, tending to confuse or mislead the
pupil, has been carefully avoided.
There is a copious Appendix which contains a list of Biblical, Classi-
cal, Mythological, Historical, and Geographical Proper Names, combined
in a single vocabulary.

 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.

KEY TO THE SYMBOLS.

In the RESPELLING FOR PRONUNCIATION in the Dictionary, there is employed — as
shown in the Table — a symbol for every clear vowel or diphthongal sound in the language ; with,
in four instances, a pair of equivalents for the same sound as occurring in different situations, viz.
u = oo u = ob 6 = a.
; and y (final) =r I besides a and e, italicized, as these vowels are in cer-
; ; ;

tain cases obscured and turned toward the neutral form ; also, apostrophe for the voice-glide and ;

N to indicate foreign nasalized vowels —

some of the sounds occurring only in accented and others
;

only iu unaccented syllables, and some others, with but slight difference of quality, in both. The
a, 3, and 6 are used to represent the similar sounds in foreign words, but not limited as they are in
English to unaccented syllables. The u is employed, as the nearest English vowel we have, inexact
as it is, to replace u French and u German and in like manner the e for the eu French and 6
;

German.
The consonant letters b, d, f, li, j, k, 1, m, p, r, t, v, w, and y, and the digraphs sh and
ng, are used with their ordinary normal value g, s, z, and eh are each limited to a single sound
; ;

n and th are marked for one sound of each and used unmarked for the other. No use is made of c,
q, x, or the digraphs pli, gh, dg, and wh. The principal substitutions of the consonant symbols
used in the respelling are noted in the Table.

Note. Foreign consonant sounds are represented by the nearest English equivalents.
Accents and Hyphens. The principal accent is indicated by a heavy mark ('), and the second-
ary accent by a lighter mark ('), at the end of the syllable. Syllabic division is otherwise indicated
by a light hyphen ; a heavier hyphen joins the members of compound words.

The Table here appended, together with the preceding Table, furnishes a method of INDICA-
TING PRONUNCIATION WITHOUT RESPELLING. It is, in its main features, the same as that
employed in previous editions of the Dictionary, and will serve except in the case of a comparatively
few words, which must be respelled. Use is made of it in this Guide to Peonunciation.
To each of the symbols here given, the equivalent is added that takes its place in the respelling

The method has diacritical marks applied to such consonant letters and digraphs as offer espe-
cial and frequent occasion for their use. Certain syllables, as tion, sion, tial, cial, etc., which
would naturally be correctly pronounced, need not be marked or respelled. The sounds, as de-
scribed, of x, ph, qu, and wh, unmarked, are what these characters will usually, but not invaria-
bly, represent.

THE VOWELS OF THE ALPHABET IN DETAIL.

A.
§ 1. A, a : as in ale, fate, mak'er, pro-fane'. The sound is otherwise represented, as in
pain, day, gaol, gauge, break, veil, whey, also aye (ever) and ; is the name sound of the letter.
The vowel is called " long a."
A is diphthongal, its initial element being nearly 6 in end, and its vanish i in ill or e in eve.
The vanish heard most distinctly when the sound ends a word or an accented syllable, and ifc
is

varies according to the nature of the consonant by which it is stopped.

The radical or initial element, somewhat widened, is the exceptional sound of a in many, any,
Thames; and of ai in said, again, against. See § 13.

§ 2. A, & ' ranging between a

a modification of the preceding vowel in syllables without accent ;

(ale) and 6 (end) and never taking the vanish. It occurs in the endings -ace, -age as, pref-
; ;

ace, sol'Sce, rav'Sge, ad'age, etc. The ending -ate, in the case of verbs, takes a (ale), with
accent, primary or secondary (though with the secondary accent not marked in the Dictionary) as, ;

re-late', ad'vo-cate (v.), em'u-late, con'ju-gate (v.), ag'gre-gate (v.), etc. while, in the ;

case of nouns and adjectives, a without the accent is commonly used as, sen'ate, prel'ate, ad'- ;

vo-cSte (n.), ag'gre-gate (».), con'ju-g£te (a.). Also, a often occurs as preceding another
vowel — usually accented — in
the following syllable; as, a-e'ri-al, cha-ot'ic, Ju'da-ism. In
words mis'cel-lavny, sal'u-ta-ry, sunuVtu-aV-ry, the a, before ny or ry final, and with
like
the preceding syllable unaccented, has properly this sound but if the preceding syllable be accented, ;

as in bot'a-ny, di'a-ry, sal'a-ry, pri'ma-ry, boun'da-ry, the a, sound (so'fa), is usually

preferred yet in con'tra-ry and li'bra-ry the
;
is the easier to give, and in these and some
2fc

others of the class is common and allowable. In final syUables, the tendency of the sound is to pass
 ;;

vm GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.
through 6 to i, as in village, sur'f ace, etc., in which the a is followed by a j or an s sound. The
ai in moun'tain, cap'tain, etc., in the same way becomes I (ill).

§ 3. A, a only in syllables closed by the sound of r and more or less strongly accented as in
: ;

care, share, corn-pare', par'ent, plow'share'. The sound is also represented by e (thdre)
and otherwise as in air, bear, heir, prayer.
The a before r does not ordinarily take this sound when the r precedes a vowel or another r in the
following syllable of the word as in par'i-ty, par'ry, com-par'i-son, char'i-ty, etc. But
;

the sound remains without change by an added verb inflection or the suffix -er as in com-par'- ;

ing, shar'er and appears exceptionally in par'ent, par'ent-age, gar'ish.

;

The sound is the narrow correlate of the wide a (am). It is not simply a prolongation of that
sound though, if we attempt such prolongation, the organs naturally slide into a position which
;

gives the sound in question.

The difference between this sound and that of a may be readily distinguished by sounding the
first syllable of charity and the word chair.

Some orthoepists, as Walker, Smart, Stormonth, Ellis, identify this sound with a, or with e" pro-
longed, but this sound is not now commonly given in the United States.

§ 4. A, a : as in am, add, fat, r&n'dom, have, par'i-ty ; also in plaid, guar'an-ty, etc.
the regular " short a." It is usually followed by a closing consonant sound, whether accented or
unaccented.
As unaccented, it is more commonly found in initial closed syllables : as in al-lude', at-tack',
annul'.

§ 5. A, a : as in arm, far, father, ah, alms, palm, etc. ; having equivalents as in hearth,
aunt, guard, etc. ; called the " Italian a."
This is the most open of all the vowel sounds. In its formation the mouth and throat are
opened widely, and the tongue is left in its natural position of rest.

§ 6. A, a. This is the sound to be preferred in certain words or syllables ending in sk, ff, ft,
th, ss, sp, st, nee, nt, nd ; as, ask, staff, graft, path, pass, grasp, last, dance,
chant, com-mand' ; and in some other cases ; besides its frequent use in unaccented syllables,
— for one class of which it will in this Dictionary be indicated by a, the Italic form of the letter.
See § 7.
In organic position, a lies between a in am, and a in arm. The main part of the tongue is
Taised higher than in arm, and the mouth is not so widely opened.
In unaccented stllables this sound (a) is of frequent occurrence, though in rapid speech more
or less obscured and often falling into the neutral form.
In open syllables unaccented, as in a-rise', di'a-dem, ca-lor'ic, mu'ta-ble, bot'a-ny,
sal'a-ry, vil'la, so'fa, etc., the sound may be regarded as a brief and obscure form of a.

§ 7. In final or medial syllables, unaccented, and closed by n, 1, nt, nee, nd, s, ss, st, p or ph
or n*, m, or d, as in syl'van, va'can-cy, mor'tal, loy'al, va'cant, val'iant, guid'ance,
hus'band, Was, com'pass, bal'last, break'fast, jal'ap, ser'aph, mad'am, myr'i-ad,
etc., the Italic a is used in the spelling for pronunciation. See § 6.

§ 8. A, a talk, swarm, wa'ter, ap-pall' otherwise represented in haul, draw,

: as in all, ;

awe ; bought, etc.

also in orb, bdrn,
This is called the " broad sound " of a, and is formed by a depression of the larynx and a con-
sequent retraction of the tongue which enlarges the cavity of the mouth posteriorly,
In the words salt, malt, quarrel, etc., as commonly heard, the sound of a falls between 5 in
not and a in all (or is a somewhat shortened).

§9. A, a: as in was, what, wan'der, wal'low, qual'i-ty, etc. The sound is identical
 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. ix

with that of 5 (5dd, n5t), and ow in knowledge, etc. In the respelling for pronunciation, it

will be represented by 6.

E.

as in eve, the name sound, having equivalents as

mete, con'crete', etc. feet, in
§ 10. E, e
;
:

beam, de-ceive', peo'ple, key, Cse'sar, ma-cbine', field, quay, Phoe.'bus, Por'tu-guese', etc.
convexly
The vowel is called "long e." In the formation of this element, the tongue is raised
within the dome of the palate, pressing against its sides, and leaving the smallest possible passage
through which a vowel sound is uttered.

§ 11. E, e" : in unaccented syllables, as e-vent', S-pit'o-me, erg-ate', de'-lin'e'-ate', so-ci'-

e-ty ; shorter than accented e (eve), verging towards, or sometimes even reaching, I (ill).

§ 12. E, e. This, in genuine English words, occurs only with i or y added, so as to make a
digrapb as in eight, prey, vein, etc. The sound is identical with a in ale, and will be indi-
;

cated by a in the respelling.

In naturalized and half-naturalized foreign words, as forte, finale, abbe, ballet, con-
somme, adobe, auto-da-fe, Jose, and in the interjection elx and in a few other instances, we
have this sound of e without the vanish. In such cases, in the respelling, it is indicated by the
symbol a.

§ 13. £, 6 as in end, pfit, ten, fir'ror, etc. ; otherwise as in featb/er, heif'er, leop'ard,
:

friend, di-ser'e-sis, as/a-fcet'i-da, bur'y, guess, a'ny, said, etc. ; called "short e." The syllable
is usually closed by a consonant sound.
This is not the short sound of e in eve, but the initial or radical sound, somewhat widened, of the
diphthongal a. It is made by arching up the tongue under the hard palate, as in e, but its place of
formation is farther back.
Unaccented it occurs, as in ex-cuse', fin-large', fif-f ace', fis-tate', fir-ro'ne-ous, lev'fil,
in'tfil-lect7 , car'pfit ; and sometimes it verges to or towards i, as in ro'ses, hors'fis, fair'fist,
wis'est, riv'et, end'ed, wicked, wool'fin, kitch'fin.

§ 14. E, 6 : as in there, where ; also in heir, etc. ; only before r ; — identical in sound with
a (care).

§ 15. £, e: her, er'mine, verge, in-feV, per-vgrt'; otherwise as in sir,

as in fern, err,
bird, earn, mirth, niyr'tle, guer'don, etc. It occurs when immediately followed by r in a mono-
syllable or in the same accented syllable but not when the r precedes a vowel or another r in the
;

following syllable, as in vfir'y, pfir'il, meVry, fir'ror, he'ro, pe'ri-od, etc., except that verbs
having this sound of the letter almost always retain it when inflected or suffixed as in con-f Sir- ;

ring, de-tfir'rlng, con-fer'rer, re-fer'ri~ble.

This sound is formed by placing the organs in a position intermediate between that requisite for
sounding u (urn), and that for sounding 6, thus making (as Smart observes) a compromise between
the two. A majority of English-speaking people, however, make no distinction between e in her,
and u in urn but as many orthoepists do make a slight difference, the two markings have been
;

retained in this Dictionary.

§ 16. Unaccented S (before r),~ as in ev'er, read'Sr, lov'Sr, sev'Sr, sev'er-al, per-form',
rev'Sr-ent, in'fer-ence, cav'grn, etc., with equivalents in e-lix,ir, zeph'yr, ac'tor, li'ar, etc.,
— is nearly identical with the accented e (f ern).

§ 17. The e before n in unaccented syllables, as in pru'dent, rai'ment, con-ven'ient, —

cre'dence, de'een-cy, etc., — takes a sound of obscure quality in ordinary speech The e before
n in wool'en, kitch'en, etc., takes properly the 6 (find) sound, which in rapid speech tends
toward i (ill). In words like com'ment, con'vent, correct with fi (find), we have the final — —
X GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.
syllable actually under a secondary accent. Before 1, the unaccented e is, in some cases, like that
above before n as in nov'el, in'fi-del while in shriv'el and some others it takes the form ex-
; ;

plained below (see § 18) ; —

but, in many cases, it is commonly and properly given as e (end) thus ;

in jew'el, cru'el, cam'el, gos'pel, fun'nel, an'gel, chan'nel. In some of these, and in
other words of the kind, there is considerable diversity of usage as between these sounds.
In the case of words like pru'dent, nov'el (see above in this paragraph), the vowel will be in-
dicated by a bare Italic e in the spelling for pronunciation.

§ 18. The unaccented vowel of obscure quality before n or 1, is sometimes reduced to the attenu-
ated form called the voice-glide, — as
eat'en, heav'en, o'pen, shriv'el, a'ble, gen'tle,
in
par'ti-cle, ba'sin, cous'in, par'don, sea'son, etc.
Syllables are also made by m
with the voice-glide as in schism (siz'm), chasm (kaz'm), mi'- ;

cro-cosm (-koz'm), etc. Substituting the vowel u for the voice-glide is not sanctioned.
In this Dictionary, an apostbophe (') is used in the respelling for pronunciation to indicate the
vowel elision or the voice-glide ; as, par'd'n, a'b'l, etc.

§ 19. The letter e silent. As annexed to a consonant at the end of a syllable, this letter has no
sound ; but serves commonly, in accented syllables, to indicate the preceding vowel as long ; as in
came, tone. It also marks the preceding consonant c or g as soft as in ser'vice, rav'age, ;

vice, o-blige'.

§ 20. The letter e, with consonant value. Like the short I, when e unaccented is closely followed
by another vowel, it naturally falls into more or less of a consonant y sound, and the e thus makes
with the following vowel an imperfect, or consonantal, diphthong. After t, or d, or c, or s, this
y sound often coalesces with the consonant and changes its sound ; as in right'eous (ri'chus)
gran'deur (gran'dur or gran'jur), mi-ca'ceous (-shus), o'cean (o'shan), and nau'seous (na/-
shus). Even after the sound of the e has changed the preceding consonant, it may still appear, espe-
cially when the accent falls upon the following vowel as in o'ce-an'ic (o'she-Sn'Tk), nau'se-ate ;

(na'she-at).

is "longi." Equivalents are vie, guile, height, aisle, thy, buy, choir, rye, eye, ay or
called
aye (yes) as sometimes heard.
The sound is diphthongal. The main part is the glide between its initial (a in arm) and its ter-
minal (i in ill).

§ 22. 1,1: unaccented : as in f-de'a, bt-ol'o-gy. trt-bu'nal, bf-car'bo-nate, dl-am'e-ter.

The quality of the sound is subject to variation ; the diphthong (l in ice) being more curtailed as
the syllable takes less stress and shorter quantity.

§ 23. I, i : as in pique, ma-ch'ine', in-trigue', etc. The sound is the same as that of e
(eve), by which it is represented in the respelling for pronunciation.

§ 24. I, i : as in ill, pit, pit'y, Ts'sue, admit', un-til', etc. Equivalents are hymn, guin'ea,
sieve, breech'es, been, Eng'lish, bus'y, wom'en. This is not the short sound of i in ice, but the
short correlative of e in eve. It is called " short i."
Unaccented syllables with vowel are, in the greater number of cases, closed by a conso-
this
nant, as in cab'in, il-lume', in-hab'it. But there are many words in which i ends an unac-
cented syllable or forms a syllable by itself, as di-vide', visl-ble, vis'i-bill-ty.

I, i, before r as in fir, bird, vir'tue, vir'gin, irk'some.

§ 25. : etc. : the precise equiva-
lent of e (fern). In some words the sound, before 1 or n, is reduced to the voice-glide ; as in
e'vil (eVl), ba'sin (ba's'n), etc. See § 18.

§ 26. Theletter i, with consonant value. A short i, closely followed by another vowel, often
sound, and thus produces an impure diphthong,
and makes one syllable out of two as
falls into a y ;

in f il'ial, min'ion, gen'ius, etc. A preceding s surd, c soft, or sc, by fusion with the y, takes
an sh sound man'sion, con'scious, vi'cious and an s sonant or a z takes a zli sound
; as in ; ;

as in vi'sion, gla'zier,
- the i sound being wholly lost. A preceding t does the same, as in

na'tion, par'tial, etc. ; with the exception that when preceded by a syllable ending in s or x, the
ti takes a ch (tsh) sound ; as in ques'tion, mix'tion, Christian, etc. After g, the i falls

out, leaving the g soft ; as in re'gion. When d precedes the i, the di in some words becomes,
or tends to become, a (dzh) ; as cordial, In'dian, etc., are sometimes, and sol'dier is always,
j
pronounced.

as in old, note, bone, o'ver, pro-pose', lo'co-mo'tive,

etc. with equiva-
§ 27. 0,5: ;

lents as in roam, foe, shoul'der, grow, owe, sew, yeo'man, beau, hautboy, door. It is the
" regular long " sound, and the name sound of the letter.
This vowel takes a distinctly perceptible vanish in db (fbbt), or sometimes in oo (food),
and is
thus diphthongal. In the formation of the radical part, the lips are contracted to a circular open-
tag and the jaw is less depressed than for $, and more than for oo (food).
;
As in the similar
case of a (ale) the vanish is not universal, yielding more or less to counteracting
influences.

Before r in accented syllables, the long o naturally and more properly takes a vanish in u (urn)
instead of db ; as in glo'ry, ore, door, four.

§ 28. 6, 6. In unaccented and usually open syllables, in

English as in 6-bey', to-bac'co, ;

bil'low, bil'lows, So-crat'ic, po-et'ic, eu'16-gy, a-nat'6-my, trail s'i to-ry. This sound
differs from the o (old), not only by absence of the vanish, but by taking a somewhat wider form.

§ 29. 6, 6 : only before r ; as in 6rb, lord, or'der, abhor', ex-hdrt', etc. ; with equiva-
lents, as in extraordinary, georgic, etc.
The most generally approved pronunciation here represented by this symbol is identical with that

of a (all).
The 6 is limited to accented syllables with the r not followed by a vowel or another r in the fol-
lowing syllable of the same word (the case of inflected verbs, as ab-hor'ring, and the cognate
nouns in -er, as ab-hor'rer, excepted) ; while otherwise the vowel is 5, as in f or'eign, tor'rid,
or o, as in more, o'ral.
There are some words in which o before consonants other than r takes usually and properly a
medial sound between a. (all) and 5 as song, long, soft, cross, gone, off, trougb, oft, ;

often, cost, broth, cloth, etc. In the respelling for pronunciation in the Dictionary, this
medial sound is indicated by 6 (odd).
In unaccented syllables, we sometimes have the 6 (orb) as in mor-tal'i-ty, f 6r-get', dr- ;

dain', etc., and in for, nor, or, unaccented as well as accented.

§ 30. O, o : as in n5t, odd, etc. ; called "short o " ; having a (in was, etc.) as an equivalent,
and also ow in knowledge and ou in hough, lough. It is the short correlate of a (all).
Unaccented syllables with 6 are naturally closed by a consonant as in con-elude', 5c-cur', ;

5p-press/ dis'edn-tent', rec'ol-lect', re'cSm-mit' falling into the neutral sound in very
, ;

rapid speech. They are rarely final syllables, the 6 (son) sound being commonly given in final
syllables.

§ 31. O, o : as in do, prgve, tomb, etc. ; the same as db, and represented by db in the
respelling for pronunciation.

§ 32. O, o as wolf, wo'man, : m bo'som, etc. ; with sound of tyo, and represented by o^o
in the respelling for pronunciation.

6, 6 : as in ; ;

(up), or before r as u (urn), and in the respelling for pronunciation represented by these sym-
bols in accented syllables.
In unaccented syllables the 6 occurs frequently as in ac'tor, at'om, wel'come, f el'on, ;

bish'op, hig'ot, etc., with sound either as u (up) or as e (ev'er). In the respelling for pronun-
ciation, it will appear before r as e, and in most other cases as ii ; but sometimes before n it repre-
sents merely a voice-glide ; as beck'on (b5k''n), rea'son (reVn).

Oo.
§ 34. The double letter oo has two sounds, marked do and <ib ; besides the oo in door, and in
flood, etc. In uttering these sounds the labial opening is still more contracted than for o.

§ 35. Oo, do : as in moon, food, fool, boot, etc. ; with equivalents in do, canoe, group,
rude, rue, recruit, rheum, drew, manoeuvre.

§ 36. Oo, do : as in foot, wool, good, crdbk'ed, etc. Equivalents are o (wolf) and u
(full). It is the wide or short correspondent of the long do.

Oi and Oy.
§ 37. The diphthong oi and oy is made by the rapid change or glide of the organs in passing from
a. to 1, as in oil, boy, etc.

Ou and Ow.
The dipthong ou and ow is formed by a rapid passage of the organs from a to Sit, as in
§ 38.
outrun, owl, outlive, etc. Making the firet element a is a local peculiarity, and is very ob-
jectionable.
As digraphs, these combinations of letters take several other sounds ; as in soup, route,
Zouave (zwav or
soul, cou'ple, griev'ous,zob-av'), know, bil'low, knowl'edge,
cham'ois, av'oir-du-pois', choir, tor'toise, etc.

§39. €", u : as in use, a-buse', fu'sion, pure, mute, cube, tune, du'ty, lute, ju'ry,
etc. ; called " long u ;
" having equivalents as in beauty, feodal, feud, pew, ewe, lieu, view,
cue, suit, yule, yew, you.
The general type of the sound is that of a diphthong, which has do (food) for the terminal and
main part, and for the initial a very brief and evanescent element, nearly related to I (ill) or to e
(eve) but in the greater number of cases there comes in, as a glide, a more or less full sound of
;

consonant y, which displaces the initial vowel element. When preceded by certain consonants, the
y glide has a tendency to be fused with the consonant, thus taking the shape of a sibilant, sh or zh,
glide (see below). This tendency, in accented syllables, to which the u is limited, should be — —
severely restricted. Also, in no case whatever should the y sound be forced in when it will not come
in smoothly as a glide.
At the beginning of a syllable, as in use, u'nit, etc., the initial vowel element becomes y, the —
G here sounding the same as you in the words you, youth, etc. Next to this, the y sound comes
in the most clearly after p, b, m, v, f c, and g hard as in pure, bu'reau, beau'ty, mute,
, ;

view, fii'tile, cube, gule. After n, it is less prominent as in new. After s, th, 1, and j, ;

the y sound comes in with difficulty, and need not be attempted as in suit, assume', thew, ;

en-thii'si-asm, lute, ju'ry. After t or d, the u may better be given without the y as in ;

tune, tu'tor, due, duke, du'ty. In all these cases of y omitted, the initial vowel element (a
brief form of 1) is retained it would be quite wrong to give an ordinary do for the entire sound
:

In such words. The y, if attempted after t or d, is apt to degenerate into a sibilant, and pro-
duce, with the consonant, a decided tsh or dzh sound, tnus making tune, choon, and due the
same as Jew. The y sound after d or n is common in England, as in due, new, etc., but not in
 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. xm
America. As exceptional, the s in sure, sug'ar, and their derivatives, is entirely displaced by the
sh developed from the y sound, and the vowel is reduced to a simple ob (food) or ob (foot) sound.

U, u representing a modification of the sound of u (use), in unaccented syllables as in

§ 40. : ;

u grad'u-ate, ac'tu-ate, em'u-late, tu-mul'tu-ous, ju-di'cial, ad'ju-tant,

nite',
con'ju-gate, supreme', in'svi-lar, lu-cid'i-ty, in-dis'sol-u-ble, val'u-a-ble, virtue,
na'ture, ver'dure, cen'sure, sen'su-al, is'su-ing, meas'ure, etc. The sound differs from
that of u by taking for the final element the wide do (fbbt) ;
and, after t, by a partial or entire
change of the y into a more or less clear sh, and usually after d into a zli glide ; as in na'ture,
ver'ilfire, etc. A preceding s, in a syllable not initial (as in cen'sure, sen'su-al, etc.), takes
more commonly an sh sound, and a z or an s sonant (as in az'iire, sei'zure, lei'suro, cas'ti-al,
etc.) takes a zh sound, and the vowel becomes nearly, if not quite, the same in sound as u (joy'-
f ul). But the preceding s remains unchanged in initial, and sometimes also in medial syllables as ;

in supreme', con'su-lar, in'svi-lar, etc. After j or 1 in the same syllable, the vowel has
nearly or exactly the sound of u (joy'ful) as in ju-di'cial, ad'ju-tant, lu-cid'i-ty, indis'-
;

so-lu-ble. Before r, the sound often inclines towards e (ev'er) as in na'ture, cen'sure, ;

meas'ure, etc.

§ 41. U, u : only after r ; as in rude, ru'mor, ru'ral. The sound does not differ essen-
tially from that of do (food). The sound occurs after s, as exceptional, in sure and its deriva-
tives, the s being heard as sh.

§42. TJ, u: as in bull, full, put, push, pull, etc. ; with sound the same as do (fbbt),
heard also in sug'ar after s as sh.
Unaccented the u occurs in the syllable f ul ; as in joy'ful, joy'f ul-ness, f ul-nlF, etc. ; also,

after r, in f ru-gal'i-ty and a few other words.

§ 43. U, u: as in urn, urge, burn, hurl, etc. ; with equivalents as in worm, journal, etc.,
before r only. The sound, as more commonly heard, is the narrow form of the vowel, correspond-
ing to the wide u. (up).

§ 44. U, ii '. as in tip, bud, tub, us, ush'er, iin'der, etc. ; the " short u ;
" with equiva-
touch, etc.
lents as in sun, does, blood,
In unaccented syllables the vowel occurs in cir'cxis, sub-mit', etc., and falls readily into the
" neutral vowel." The ou in pi'ous, etc., oi in por'poise, eo in dun'geon, etc., usually the
ow in bel'lows, etc., and the final element of the eou in right'eous, etc., and of iou in gra'-
cious, etc., and the o in at'om, irk'some, na'tion, etc., have the same sound.

§ 45. U, ivith consonant value, having the sound of w, before another vowel in the same syllable
after qorg; as in qual'i-ty, quite, ques'tion, gua'no, lan'guage, etc. ; also after s, as in
persuade', suite, etc.

§ 46. The neutral vowel, sometimes called the " natural vowel," is the vooal sound made
with the least articulative effort, or with no effort to shape the sound, and heard, except as a glide,
only in unaccented syllables. It may be described as an obscure sound approaching that of ii (up)
or u (urn).

§ 47. This letter, as a vowel, has four sounds y T : =

as in de-f y', style, fly
; y, the equiva- ; —
lent of i (idea) , as in hy-e'na, my-ol'o-gy ;
— =
y i as in nymph, lyr'ic, and (unaccented)
;

pit'y, hap'py ;
—y= e or I ; as in myrrh, myr'tle and (unaccented) zeph'yr.

THE CONSONANTS OF THE ALPHABET (WITH THE CON-

SONANT DIGRAPHS) IN DETAIL.
B.
§ 48. a labial sonant, correlative of p, as in boy, cab, ebb, beau'ty, bring, blow,
This is

a'ble, herb, bulb, robbed (r5bd), etc. It is usually silent after in the same syllable ; as in m
bomb, climb, tomb ; also before t ; as in debt, doubt, sub'tle ; also in bdellium.

§ 49. The " soft c " has a sibilant sound of three varieties : —
One like s sharp, marked C, c, and
represented by s in the respelling for pronunciation. C has this sound before e, I, or y ; as in
cede, cypress, acid, glance, force, vice, etc.
civil, In a few words the letter has the z —
sound ; discern. —When ce or ci is followed by another vowel in the
as in sacrifice, suffice,
same syllable, the sli sound is taken, either by the c alone, as in oceanic, viciosity, or by the
ce or ci together, as in ocean, vicious, etc.

§ 50. The " hard c," marked C, -e, has the sound of k, and is represented by k in the respelling.

The letter has this sound before a, o, or u, or a consonant, and at the end of a syllable if not fol-
lowed by i or e ; as in call, cold, pic'ture, act, ethics and before e in sceptic, and i in ;

scirrous, etc.

§ 51. C is silent in czar, victuals, indict, and in muscle, corpuscle, etc.

CH.
§ 52. The digraph ch (unmarked) has nearly the sound of tsh ; as in chin, church. It is the
surd correlative of j.

The sound is also represented by ti in bastion, question, Christian, etc., by te in

righteous, and by t with the initial part of u in texture, nature, etc.

§ 53. The digraph marked Ch, ch, has the sound of sh, in words from the French which have
retained this sound as in chaise, chivalry, chagrin, machine, mustache.
;

§ 54. Ch hard, marked Ch, ch ; with sound like k, which is used to represent it in the respell-
 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. xv
Ing. It has this sound in words derived from the Greek, and through the Latin in all but quite
modern words; as in chorus, epoch, echo, chlorine, chrism, character; or from the
Hebrew as in Nebuchadnezzar, Enoch, etc. exceptions are church, chart, Rachel,
; ;

cherub, and arch- in archbishop, archdeacon, archduke,

the prefix etc. ; but the k
sound remains in archangel, and in architect, architrave, etc.

§ 55. Ch is silent in drachm, schism, yacht ; also in fuchsia.

§ 56. This is a dental sonant, correlative of the surd t ; as in day, dry, bed, aimed, idle.
tt sounds as t when preceded by a surd in the same syllable as in hissed, looked, arched ;

<
nist, 166kt, archt). It is silent in the first syllable of Wednesday and in handkerchief,
handsome, and windrow.

§ 57. This is a labiodental, the surd correlative of the sonant v ; as in fame, fly, few, staff,
oft, etc. It has gh and ph for equivalents ; laugh, photograph, etc. It takes the
as in
sound of v in the word of, and usually in the compounds, hereof, thereof, whereof.

G.

The " hard g " is marked G, g but in the respelling for pronunciation is represented by g
§ 58. ;

unmarked. It is a guttural sonant, the correlative of k, used before a, o, u, or 1, r, s, in the same

syllable; as in gay, go, gun, glad, grow, lingual, argue, bags, haggle sometimes, ; —
though not usually, before e, i, or y as in get, give, gig, muggy. The letter g is always
;

hard at the end of a word as in hug, berg also in the derivatives of such words, even when the
; ;

doubled g is followed by e, i, or y as in cragged, druggist, foggy.

;

The interposition of a slight sound of e (eve) or I (ill) between g hard and a following a or I
sound, in garden, guard, guide, guile, etc., and in like manner after a k or hard c, in card,
kind, etc., upheld by the authority of Walker, — is not approved.
—
§ 59. The " soft g," marked G, g, has the sound of j, and is represented by j in the respelling
for pronunciation ; as ingem, engine, rage, caged,' etc. It is found usually before e, i, or y.

§ 60. In a few words from the French, the letter g retains the sound like that of z in azure
as in rouge, mirage, cortege, etc.

§ 61. The letter g is silent before m

or n final, and when initial before n as in phlegm, ;

siirn, gnat, gnostic, etc. No g sound is heard in the digraph ng; as in sing, long, etc. nor ;

jn seraglio, nor in bagnio.

GH.
§ 62. At the beginning of a word, this digraph is sounded like hard g ; as in ghastly, ghost,
etc. It is silent after i ; as in high, sigh, weigh, straight, eight, right, etc. also before ;

t in the same or a following syllable as in bought, brought, thought, wrought, causrht,

;

taught, fraught, daughter, drought, etc. ; but has the sound of f in the word draught;
the sound of f also commonly after au or ou at the end of a syllable as in laugh, cough, rough, ;

enough; that of k in hough, lough, shough and is often silent after au or ou in the same
;

syllable ; as in overslaugh, dough, doughy, though, bough, through.

§ 63. This is a pure breath sound, representing no fixed configuration of the vocal organs, and is
often called the aspirate. It occurs at the beginning of words or syllables, as in hate, here, hire.
XVI GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.
house, home, hard, hit, hoop, hoot, etc. The sound may be produced before any of the
vowel sounds and before the semivowel sounds y and w. It is represented by in who, wh
whose, whom. H
is silent in heir, herb (usually), honest, honor, hour, and their de-

rivatives.

J.

§ 64. This, with the equivalents g soft and dg, is compounded of d and zh. We have it in jar,
jam, jest, jut, jury, join, etc. It is the sonant correlative of the surd ch. In some proper
names of foreign origin, and in other foreign words, j or dj occurs at the end of a syllable as in ;

Aj'a-lon, hadj, hadj'i, Mij'a-min, Raj, Raj'poor'.

The sound is represented by ge in surgeon, outrageous, etc. by gi in region, religious, ;

etc. ; by di in soldier, etc. ; by de in grandeur, etc. and by d with a part of u in verdure. ;

K.
§ 65. This is a guttural surd mute, the correlative of sonant g (hard) as in kite kill, skill, ask,
; ,

ark, elk, ilk, mink, oak, etc. It has hard c, hard ch, gh, cu, qu, que, cque, and q for
equivalents; as in call, chorus, hough, biscuit coquet, antique, sacque, queen.
(-kit),
The sound is the first component of the ordinary x
box, etc. Before n, in the same syllable,
; as in
k is silent ;as in knot, knee, etc. ; ck has the sound of k alone as in back as does Ik after
; ;

a, (all) or o (old) as in walk, folk,

; etc.

I*

§ 66. This is a palatal sonant made by contact of the point of the tongue with the palate, as for
t, d, n ; but with the sides of the tongue in this case left free for the passage of the breath. It is
one of the liquids. We The 1 in an unaccented following an accented
have it in lie, all, sole.
syllable fulfills the office of a vowel as in battle, bustle, bridle, couple, pickle, etc., and
;

in some other cases, as in evil, easel, etc. The 1 is silent in would, could, should, alms,
balm, malmsey, calm, palm, palmer, psalm, salmon, almond, half, behalf, calf,
halve, salve, calves, balk, chalk, calk, talk, stalk, walk, folk, yolk (often), with like
words and their derivatives.

M.
§ 67. M has but one sound, produced by closing the lips, as for b and p, and letting the vocalized
breath into the nasal passage ; as in me, tame, times. At the beginning of a word, m before n
is silent ; as in mnemonics.
N.

§ 68. N, as in none, inn, one, ten, fern, snow, tent, annul, change, ingress, con-
gressive, etc., is the dentonasal consonant; the oral passage being closed by contact of the point
and the sides of the tongue with the palate, just as it is for t and d, n being continuous and —
nasal, while t and d are momentary and oral.

§ 69. When n is final after m it is silent ; as in hymn, condemn, solemn, etc. but when ;

to such words is added a suffix or an inflection beginning with a vowel, the n is generally sounded ;

as in condemnation, condemnatory, solemnize, solemnity, hymnology, hymnist,

limner, autumnal, etc. N is silent in kiln, limekiln, etc. In the participles damned,
damning, condemning, contemning, hymning, limning, etc., and also in the cognate
nouns condemner and contemner, usage is divided. Initial kn, pn, mn, are sounded as n
as in know, pneumatics, mnemonics, etc.

§ 70. Nan accented syllable, with g, c, or ch, hard, or k or qu, commen-

at the close of
commonly takes the ng sound, and is marked n as in an'ger, un'-
cing a following syllable, ;

cle, din'gle, an'chor, con'gress, con/gre-ga'tion, can/ker, con/quest, con'quer,

 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. xvii

etc. but not generally if the accent falls on the latter syllable as in con-gres'sive, con-cor'-
; ;

dant, etc. nor in the prefixes in-, en-, on-, un-, 11011- as, in'come, un'con-cern', non'-
; ;

com-mit'tal nor in quin'cunx, and the derivatives and compounds of quin'que nor in
; ;

pen'guin and a few other words. In e'lon-ga'tion, pro'lon-ga'tion, san-gnif'er-ous,

and often in con-gres'sion-al, con-gru'i-ty, and like words, the n, though unaccented,
etc.,
ng, which is given ic by rule in the words from which these are derived, as
retains the sound of
e-Ion/gate, etc. It takes the ng sound also before k, or ch hard, or x, at the end of a syllable
as in ink, think, thank, monk, conch, anx'ious, etc.

NG.
§ 71. The digraph Ng, ng, is the equivalent of n. This sound isformed with the organs in the
same position as g (hard), except that the nasal passage through which the sound passes is left
open. The digraph occurs only at the end of syllables ; as in long, wing, hang, sins, song'
Stress ; or with ue added at the end ; as in m the comparatives and super-
tongue ; except that
latives of long, strong, young, the g goes with a proper hard g sound to the inflection, while
the 11 takes to itself the n sound as, lon'ger, lon'gest. In diphthong and triphthong the
;

g goes, in a like way, to the suffix -al.

§ 72. This is the surd correlative of b as in pea, cup, pray, play, harp, spy, spread,
;

oppress, etc. It is silent as initial before n, s, sh, and t as in pneumatics, psalm, pshaw ;
;

also in raspberry, receipt, sempstress, accompt, corps, and their derivatives.

PH.
This digraph occurs chiefly in words of Greek derivation, and has usually the sound of £
§ 73. ;

as in phantom, sylph, philosophy, etc. It has the sound of v in Stephen and, according ;

to most orthoepists, in nephew, though in America it has commonly its regular sound of f in
the latter word. In diphthong, triphthong, ophthalmy, naphtha, and other allied
words, and their derivatives, the ph is sometimes sounded as p.

§ 74. Q
is in all cases followed by u, and the two together have commonly the sound of
; kw
as in queen, conquest, etc. ; but they have that of k
in a few words from the French, as in co-
quette, etc. ; as has also the ending -que in antique, burlesque, etc.

R.
§ 75. The sound of r, as in rip, trip, carol, far, form, etc., is produced by the passage of
the voice over the tongue, the end of which is raised, but does not touch the roof of the mouth,
while its sides close the passages through which the sound of 1 passes.
There are two leading varieties of the consonant r. One, the dental r, is made between the
point of the tongue and herd palate not far back of the teeth need before a vowel, as in ri»e. try,
;

oral, array. This, as requiring a more forcible expulsion of the breath, is commonly called
" rough " r. The other, the palatal r, is made between the tongue and the palate, somewhat
farther back, with less friction of breath than the dental, and hence is commonly called " smooth " r.
It occurs at the end of a syllable or before a consonant, as in far, arm, orbit.
The " rough " r is by some speakers more or less trilled, but this practice is not common in the
United States.
A
prevailing fault in New England is (like that which Walker says prevailed in England, especially
inLondon) not sounding the r at the end of words and before a consonant thus, ea (with the vowel ;

somewhat prolonged) for car, f am

for farm, etc. It still prevail*, .n the south of England. In
the United States, the fault is not uncommon in New England. But among educated people the r
takes generally in the United States a more or less clear sound as a consonant in all situations.
xviii GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.
The letter r never takes the regular short sound of a vowel before it, except when in primitives
and their derivatives it ends a syllable, and is followed by a syllable beginning with a vowel sound;
as in marry, very, spirit, mirror, florid, morrow, hurry, myriads. The doubling of
the r does not affect this statement, since but one r is sounded.
When primitives end in r their derivatives do not take the regular short sound of a vowel simi-
larly situated ; as in bar, barring; infer, inferring; err, erring; stir, stirring ab- ;

hor, abhorring ; occur, occurring.

S.

§ 76. The proper sound of s as a surd is made by breath forced through a contracted channel
between the tongue and the hard palate near the front teeth, and impinging upon the edges of the
upper or the lower teeth; as in see, so, hiss, yes, scorn, sky, sly, smile, snow, spy,
square, stay, swim, cuffs, picks, cups, cuts, sense, curse, best, message, display,
lisp, gipsy, absurd, etc. Equivalents are c soft, as in cell, civil, vice sc, as in scene, : ;

science, etc. sch as in schism.

;

§ 77. The sonant s (marked §), corresponding to the surd, as above, is made with the same artic-
ulative position, except that the tongue is pressed somewhat closer to the palate. The sound is pre-
cisely like that of z ; as in i§, ha§, etc. The s is sonant as the final sound of some verbs and surd
as the final sound of the cognate nouns or adjectives as use, abuse, diffuse, house,
; etc.

Notice close, with s as z in verb and noun, and s sharp in the adjective. Compare advise (v.),

advice (n.), etc.

§ 78. S takes sometimes the sound of sh, by fusion with a following y sound, with consequent
vowel change; as in version, mansion, convulsion, censure, sensual, sure, sugar,
etc. ; in the case of s doubled, the first is assimilated to the second as in passion (pSsh'Gn), ;

issue (Ish'u or Tsh'u). In a few words s takes the sh sound while leaving the following vowel
unchanged ; as in Asiatic, nausea, etc. Compare § 49.

§ 79. S takes the sound (zh) of z in azure by fusion with a following y sound, when it is pre-
ceded by a vowel in an accented syllable ; as in virion, de-ci'§ion, ad-he'gion, suasion, ex-
plosion, con-fusion, pleasure, lei'sure, vig'u-al, u'su-ry, etc. ; also in sci§'§ion,

ab-scis/sion, re-sci§'§ion.

SH.
§ 80. This digraph, as in sharp, shine, rash, usher, represents a surd sibilant made between
tongue and palate at a place farther back than the g. It is reckoned as a simple element, and is the
correlate of the sonant sound represented by zh.
The sound is otherwise represented by c or s with or before e or i, and by t or sc with or before
by s, sometimes, before u ; as involved in the x in anxious, luxury, etc. by ch in chaise, ;

machine, etc. ; by chs in fuchsia; and by sch in schorl, schottische, from the German.

This is the dental surd correlative of sonant d as in tie, it, note, try, tune, twine,
§ 81. ;

Stay, stray, art, last, apt, sent, aft, act, salt, next, attend, etc.

This digraph is used to represent two sounds, a surd and a sonant, both made with the
§ 82.
same articulative position: the surd, as in thin, thing, thrive, enthusiasm, breath,
length, birth, width, etc the sonant, ; marked Ph, th, as in the, this, thy, then, with,
breathe, bathe, father, northern, etc.
In the following nouns the th is surd in the singular and sonant in the plural :
bath, cloth,
 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. xix

lath, mouth, oath, path, wreath, moth ;

pi. bath§, clothg, etc. Verb and noun forms
differ : the verb sonant, the noun surd ; as, breathe, breath ; wreathe, wreath ; bathe,
bath ; mouth, mouth.

§ 83. Th has the sound of t in thyme, Thomas, Thames, Esther and ;

in phthisic,
(ph being silent). It is commonly isthmus and asthma.

V.

§ 84. is

wolves, The sound is taken by f in of but in pronouncing its

move, move?, calves., etc. ;

compounds, hereof, thereof, etc., usage is divided between v and f.

W.
§ 85. At word or of a syllable, as wet, worse, inward, this letter (which
the beginning of a
is unmarked) is a sonant, formed from, and nearly
resembling, the vowel oo, but requiring for

its utterance a closer position, or greater contraction, of the

labial aperture and this compression ;

articulative instead of a smooth

of the lips changes the quality of the sound, giving it a buzzing and
and purely vocal character.
It is often represented by u occurring before another vowel in the same syllable, as in quail,
query, languid, assuage, etc.

§ 86. After a vowel in the same syllable, is generally silent w

as in glow, thrown, etc., ;

though sometimes significant, as in flaw. With e it unites to form a diphthong, which is generally
sounded like long u, as in dew, few, new but it is sounded like oo, or like u in rude, if the
;

letter r stands before it, as in crew, shrew. It is often joined with a preceding o to represent

the diphthongal sound otherwise expressed by ou, as in brow, cow, town.

§ 87. W is always silent before r in the same syllable, as in wring, wrote, awry ; also in the
words answer, sword, toward, two.
WH.
§ 88. The true sound of these letters is in the reverse order, namely, hw, as they were written
in Anglo-Saxon; e. g., when is pronounced hwen ; wharf, hwarf. The h is here a free
emission of breath through the position taken by the lips in the formation of w. In who,
whole, whoop, whore, and their derivatives, the w is silent.

§ 89. The surd sound of x, as in box, wax, execute, exit, exodus, exudation, ex-
claim, extreme, excel, excellent, etc., is equivalent to that of ks. X, as preceding an ac-
cented syllable, is exceptionally surd (ks) in ex-ar'chate, ex-er'cent, ex-ude', hexam'o
ter, ox-al'ic, and a few other words (see § 90). In words such as anxious, noxious, luxury,
the s component of the x becomes sh by fusion with a following y sound.

§ 90. X is, with few exceptions, sonant (gz) when followed by an accented syllable that begins
with a vowel, or by a silent h
and a vowel under the accent as in exist, exalt, exaggerate,
;

example, exempt, exert, exotic, exult, exhaust, exhibit, exhort, exhilarate, etc.
Some derivatives of such words often retain the sound with the x falling under the accent as in ;

ex'em-pla-ry, ex'emp-ti'tious.

§ 91. At the beginning of words, x has the sound of z as in xanthic, xebec, xylography.
;

It retains this sound in certain compounds, as in par a-xan'thin. met a-xy'lene, etc.
XX GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION.

§ 92. T, aa a consonant, is a palatal sonant as in year, you, young, beyond, vineyard, ;

halyard, etc. It is classed with w

as a semivowel. In certain cases the sound is represented by
I as in poniard, onion, genial, familiar, etc.
; and in like manner by e, and it forms a part ;

of the vowel u (use). The place of articulation for this consonant extends farther back than the
place of constriction for the vowel e (eve), involving the soft palate, as the place for e does not.
Y, as a consonaut, occurs only at the beginning of a syllable at the end or in the middle, it is a ;

vowel, as inmy, happy, eye. It is used in this Dictionary in giving the pronunciation of some
foreign words, as fiord, lorgnette, camarilla, etc. and, in such case, is not restricted to the ;

beginning of a syllable.

Z.

The ordinary z is a sonant as in zeal, zone, maze, size, amazed, frozen, hazy,
§ 93. ;

dizzy, sizar, buzz, etc. the sound is often represented by s as in easy, his, ears, etc. some-
; ; ;

times by c ; as in suffice, etc. It is the correlative of the surd s.

§ 94. In some words, z takes a sound (zh) which is the sonant correlative of the surd sh as in ;

azure, seizure, grazier. The sound is represented by si in fusion, etc. by ti, exception- ;

ally, in transition (cf. insition) and by g in rouge, manege, mirage, and other words
;

from the French.

ASSIMILATION OF SOUNDS.
When a surd and a sonant consonant come together in the same syllable, it is generally very diffi-
cult, in fluent pronunciation, to preserve each in its regular and appropriate sound. Hence it fre-
quently becomes necessary to change the character of the one or of the other, in order to make the
combination readily pronounceable. This is generally done, in English, by assimilating the sound of
the second consonant, whether surd or sonant, to that of the first. Thus, in chintz, the vocal
consonant z assumes the sound of its surd correspondent s, in order to unite with the surd t. On
the other hand, the s in winds is vocalized, or assumes the sound of z, for the sake of correspond-
ing with the sonant d. Sometimes, though rarely, the sound of the first consonant is assimilated to
that of the second, as in spasm (spaz'm), prism (priz'm).
This between these two classes of consonants is an important fact, and one which needs to
affinity

be familiarly known. For there are four very common inflectional terminations which come under
its influence, namely: 1. Possessive forms in s, as maid's (maidz); 2. Plurals In s, as tubs
(tubz), groves (grovz) ; 3. S in the third person singular of verbs, as loads (loadz), smooths
(smoothz) ; 4. Preterits and participles in d preceded by e mute, as in dashed (dasht), ingulfed
(ingulft).
 GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION. xxi

DUPLICATION OF CONSONANTS.
In many words, a consonant is doubled between two vowels
such cases, no more than one
;
yet, in

articulation is used in speaking. In banner, for example, we close the organs but once
between
the first and second syllables nor is it possible to use both of the letters 11 without pronouncing
;

ban, then intermitting the voice entirely, opening the organs, and closing them a second time.
Hence, in all cases, when the same consonant is written twice between vowels, as in banner, rob-
bing, madden, letter, horrid, one of them only is represented by an articulation of the
organs ; and the only reason for repeating the consonant is to indicate the fact that the preceding
vowel has its short sound.
But although only one articulation is ever used where a consonant is written twice, yet in some
words the articulation is dwelt upon for an appreciable space of time, producing an apparent dupli-
cation of the sound. This effect takes place in many derived words, in which the primitive ends ©i
begins with the same letter as that with which a superadded suffix and prefix of English origin re-
spectively begins or ends, as in soulless, foully, keenness, misstep, outtravel, imna t-
ural. The same effect takes place in most compound words, in which the second part begins
with the same sound as that with which the first part ends, aa in post-town, headdress,
half-filled.

ACCENT.
Accent is a particular stress or effort of voice upon certain syllables of words, which distinguishes
them from the others by a greater distinctness and loudness of pronunciation.
Accent is of two
kinds, primary, as in in-tend', where the full force of the voice is on the
and second-
last syllable,
ary, as in su'per-in-tend', where the first syllable is distinguished by a stress greater than that
laid on the second and third syllables, though less than that laid on the last. In some words there
are two secondary or subordinate accents, as in in-com'pre-hen'si-bil'i-ty.
Note. —
(1.) The general tendency of accent, whether primary or secondary, is to shorten all vow-

els but u, when further back than the penultimate syllable, as in ten'ement, nec'essariness,
an atom'ieal, person'ifica'tion, etc. (though we say lu'bricate, and not lub'ricate
tru'culency, and not truc'ulency su'perabun'dant, and not superabundant, etc.).
;

This tendency generally fails, if the first of the two following syllables ends, and the «econd begins,
with a vowel as in pe'ri-od, o/ri-en'tal, le-vi'a-than.
;

(2.) The primary and secondary accents are, in certain cases, so nearly equal that we interchange
them freely, " making," as Walker remarks, " the secondary accent principal and the principal sec-
ondary." Examples are ambuscade, cavalcade, caricature, etiquette, reverie, confi-
dante, governante, parachute, etc.
(3. ) Many in America give a marked secondary accent in certain words which properly have but

one accent, and that on a pre-antepenultimate syllable, as in ter'ri-to'ry, dif'fi-cul'ty, cir'-

cum-st&n'ces, in'ter-Sst'ing, etc. This droning fault may be corrected by giving the accented
syllable a sharp percussion, which carries the voice lightly through the rest of the word.
