Note. In the Index of this work, when the penult of a word is long, it is
marked with the accent; when the penult is short, the antepenult is marked.
The reader should, however, bear in mind that a syllable may be long even
though it contain a short vowel, as by Rule I., (2), above.

[ocr errors]

III. Vowels and Consonants. (These rules depend upon those of Syllabi-
cation):

(1) A vowel generally has its long English sound when it ends a syllable:
He'-ro, l'-o, Ca'-cus, I-tho-me, E-do'-ni, My-ce'-na.

(2) A vowel generally has its short English sound in a syllable that ends in
a consonant: Her'-se, Sis'-y-phus, Pol-y-phe'-mus. But in the termination
es has its long sound: Her'mes, A-tri'-des.

(3) The vowel a has an obscure sound when it ends an unaccented syllable:
A-cha'-a; so, also, the vowel i or y, not final, after an accented syllable:
Hes-per'-i-des; and sometimes i or y in an unaccented first syllable: Ci-lic'-i-a.
(4) Consonants have their usual English sounds; but and g are soft
before e, i, y, a, and œ: Ce'-to, Ge'-ry-on, Gy'-ges; ch has the sound of k:
Chi'-os; and c, s, and t, immediately preceded by the accent, and standing
before i, followed by another vowel, commonly have the sound of sh: Sic-y-on
(but see Latin grammars and English dictionaries for exceptions.)

IV. Syllabication. —

(1) The penultimate syllable ends with a vowel; e.g. Pe-ne'-us, I-tho-me,
A'-treus, Hel' e-nus:

Except when its vowel is followed by x or by two consonants (not a mute
with or r), then the vowel is joined with the succeeding consonant:
Nax-os, Cir-ce, Aga-mem-non.

(2) Other syllables (not ultimate or penultimate) end with a vowel; eg
Pi-r-us:

Except when (a) the vowel is followed by x or any two consonants (not a
mute with /or r): e.g. Ix-i'-on, Pel-o-pon-ne'-sus; and when (b) the syllable
is accented and its vowel followed by one or more consonants; e.g. An2-ax-
ag-o-ras, Am-phic'-ty-on, (Ed'-i-pus.

Note (a). But an accented a, e, or o before a single consonant (or a mute
with, or r), followed by e, i, or y before another vowel, is not joined with the
succeeding consonant, and consequently has the long sound: Pau-sa'-ni-as;
De-me-tri-us.

Note (b).— An accented u before a single consonant (or mute with / or r)
is not joined with the succeeding consonant, and consequently has the long
sound: '-pi-ter.

(3) All words have as many syllables as they have vowels and diph-
thongs.
