HEL-LEB'-OR-us. The Greek form is Heéllébdros

Li-Li-uw. The first syllable is long, as proved by 
Virgil’s line: “Jaha, v premens, vescumque 
papaver"; but the analogy of the English “lily” leads 
many to mispronounce the Latin word. It is connected 
with Leirión or Liríón (Aeípiov), a Lily (which see).

Mo’-ty, the Greek Moly (uàAv) mentioned by Homer. 
 MON-AC-ANTH'/-A. See Monts (alone, solitary). Some 
readers may think it unnecessary to point out that the first 
syllable is short ; but those who have heard a late eminent ` 
Professor of Botany invariably speaking in his lectures of g
