‘Twenty-fixth letter, and fifth afpirate---The middle of 
‘the tongue muft be prefled againft the back part of the 
roof of the mouth, as in forming its ftopt vocal ¢. It re- 
quires only a flight, but fudden effort of, breath, as the 
paflage opens from the ftoppage neceflary to form the g; 
and whenever ¢ is pronounced, without being joined by 
another letter, the & is unavoidably formed as foon as the ¢ 
ceafes, and the tongue leaves its pofition.--~s is to be al- 
ways fubftituted for the g now in ufe, alfo the x when it 
has the found of &, (for it has often the found of ¢z,) and 
for the hard c which I reject entirely, for ¢ is taken from 
the Greek ;, and this is from the Hebrew (Samech) », 
reverfed, when the mode of writing from the right to the 
left hand was changed to the contrary. ‘The c is therefore 
as often ufed for s as for k, as in peace, PIIS; canker, KAD- 
KR, befides having the found of ¢ as in, {pecial, sPEr AL. 
It was alfo ufed by the Latins for, g, as in, necle€ta, for neg= 
lecta; and for g when fhort, as, cotidie for guotidie, as 
may be feen ia Terence: and it was thought proper not to 
admit it here, left cuflom might continue to fupport error. 
The power of K may be found in the eighteenth horizontal 
line of the table of founds, in the words, come, Kam ;—call, 
KOOL ;—calm, KAAM;—came, KEEm; &c.

Twenty-feventh letter, and fixth afpirate. The lips muft 
be clofed as in pronouncing its ftopt vocal 4, and by fimply 
breathing with a {mall effort, on opening thelips this af- 
pirate will be produced. It has the fame affinity with 4 
that & has with g, and is alfo formed in the fame manner 
after the termination of 4. Its power may be found in 
the twenticth horizontal line of the table of founds, in the 
words, puff, par ;--pall, pooL ;--PAn;--Pic, &c.
