Although this phenomenon is frequent, it is not constant like the 

 vocalization of n in shcsco, sitaiico. In the collection of 1811 sen- 

 tence-endings which has often heretofore supplied us with statistics 

 there are in all 71 clausulae in which a word containing qu appears.^ 

 In 35 of these clausulae the n counts as a syllable, while in 36 it 

 does not. On this basis we may conclude that in general u is 

 syllabic in about 50 per cent of the instances in which it follows q. 

 It should be pointed out, however, that this is merely an average, 

 and that the ratio is not the same for all words. 



In reliquus and similar words syllabication does not take place 

 at all, for the manifest reason that it would be impossible without 

 a prior shift of accent from the antepenult to the penult. With 

 this exception qu may count as a syllable, as far as I know, in any 

 word, no matter what position it occupies in the word. The rela- 

 tive frequency with which it so functions in any given word depends 

 upon the word itself rather than upon than the position of qn in 

 the word. In some words syllabication is optional, while in others 

 it is the rule. It is optional in -qtie, occurring in about half the 

 cases. In pronouns and adverbs ending in -qttani, in potiusquam 

 and the like, it is very nearly universal, for out of 12 clausulae 

 containing such words, -qnaui counts as a dissyllable in 11. The 

 relative pronoun is oftener a dissyllable than a monosyllable. Syl- 



^ This does not include clausulae like sufficiens aqua^ in which the qu 

 follows the last clausula-accent. In these cases either pronunciation 

 would give a regular clausula.
