PRONUNCIATION. 
1. Every Latin word has as many syllables as it has separate vowels and diph- 
ongs. 
2. “The penult (last syllable but one) is always accented in words of two sylla- 
bles. In words of more than two syllables, the penult, if long in quantity, is ac- 
cented ; if short, the antepenult (last syllable but two) is accented. A word may 
have, also, a secondary accent, &c. 
3. A vowel before another vowel, or the letter h, or marked with this (~) char- 
acter, is short in quantity. A diphthong, a vowel before two consonants, or a 
double consonant, or the letter 7, or marked with this (~) character, is long in 
quantity. 
4. A vowel has its short, English sound, when followed by a consonant in the 
same syllable; otherwise its Jong sound, without regard to quantity: a at the end 
of an accented syllable, has an indistinct sound, as in Columbia. 
5. A single consonant or a mute and liquid between the vowels of the penult 
and final syllables, is joined to the latter ; in other cases, the vowel of the accented 
syllable takes the consonant before and after it, except u, and the vowels a, e and 
o, before two vowels, the first of which is e ori; when it takes the former only. 
6. Pronounce es final with the e protracted; ch like k; ci, td, si, before a vow- 
el, like sh; @, @, like e; qu like kw; qu, su, before a vowel in the same syllable, 
like gw, sw. soi
