` `
` OF THE CONSONANTS. `
` `
` The Consonants are those letters which can not be perfectly sounded `
` without the aid of a vowel. The consonants are b, c, d, f, g, h, l, k, l, `
` m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, x, z, and sometimes i, u, w, and y. The consonants `
` are divided into MUTES and SEMI-VOWELS. `
` `
` The Mutes are those consonants that admit of no sound without the aid of a `
` vowel. They are b, d, k, p, q, t, and c and g hard. `
` `
` The Semi-vowels are those consonants that can be sounded imperfectly by `
` themselves. They are f, h, j, l, m, n, r, s, v, x, z, and c and g soft. `
` `
` Four of the semi-vowels are called LIQUIDS; viz., l, m, n, and r. They are `
` called liquids because they unite so readily with other sounds, or flow `
` into them. `
` `
` `
` `
` OF SYLLABLES AND WORDS. `
` `
` A Syllable is a sound, or a combination of sounds, uttered by a single `
` impulse of the voice: it may have one or more letters; as `
` a, bad, bad-ness. `
` `
` A Word is either a syllable or a combination of syllables; as, not, `
` notion. `
` `
` A word of one syllable is called a Monosyllable; as, man. `
` `
` A word of two syllables is called a Dissyllable; as, manly. `
` `
` A word of three syllables is called a Trisyllable; as, manliness. Words of `
` more than three syllables are called Polysyllables. `
` `
` Accent is a stress of voice placed upon some one syllable more than the `
` others. Every word composed of two or more syllables has one of them `
` accented. This accent is denoted by a mark (') at the end of the accented `
` syllable; as, mid'night, a ban'don. `
` `
` A Primitive Word is one which is not derived from any other word; as, man, `
` great, full. `
` `
` A Derivative Word is one which is formed from some other word by adding `
` something to it; as, manful, greatness, fully. `
` `
` A Simple Word is one which is not composed of more than one word; as, `
` kind, man, stand, ink. `
` `
` A Compound Word is one that is composed of two or more simple words; as, `
` ink-stand, wind-mill. `
` `
` Spelling is naming or writing the letters of a word. `
