Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from A New School Dictionary of the English Language: Embracing a Carefully Prepared Vocabulary of Words in Popular Use, Together With Tables Exhibiting the Pronunciation of Ancient and Modern Biographical and Geographical Names, Scripture Proper Names, Christian Names, &C., &C

The second, or short, sound of the vowels is generally indicated, in monosyllables, by the absence of mute e at the end of the word; as in fat, met, pin, not, tub, hyp. It is also the usual sound of a vowel in an accented syllable which ends with a consonant; as in aban'don, atten'tive, exhib'it, lacon'ic, reluc'tant, lyr'ical.

The first, or long, sound of each of the vowels, marked thus, a, a, i, 6, u, is styled its alphabetic or name sound. The sound of the letter y, when used as a vowel, is the same as that of i; but as a vowel it begins no English word in common use.
