Jt is to be obferved that the word the changes its termi-- 
nation a oraintoz before words that begin with d, 1, a, ¢, 05 
#, on account of the hiatus that muft otherwife be made, to- 
prevent it from fliding into the next found, but this change: 
is not made in any other inftances. It is omitted totally 
in Poetry when the next word begins with z.. 
If only one letter divides two common vowels, the three: 
letters form two fyllables: if more than one divide them 
they alfo form two fyllables only, unlefs two other vowels: 
intervene, as in ablene/s, e-bl-nes. 
Whenever two nafals, ftopt vocals, or afpirates of the: 
fame power follow any of the common or other vowels, 
and another of thefe vowels fucceeds, a divifion of the: 
word takes place between the double letters. 
The great diftinction between one fyllable and another, 
dy 
is, that if the organs of {peech be in their progrefs to the: 
pronunciation ofa letter, the voice may fucceflively in the: 
fame flexion embrace one or two vowels, nafal, ftopt vo-. 
cals, or afpirates, provided thefe letters are fuch as glide. 
fmoothly, and one commences where another ends; and the. 
falling as well as rifing of that flexion may alfo embrace 
one or two more of thefe letters, and form only one fyl- 
lable: but if the effort be interrupted by another vowel, 
which gives a different flexion to the voice, a divifion will 
take place, and another fyllable be formed. Quoties vox 
mutatur, toties mutatur fyllaba. 
In dividing words, the nafals, the ftopt founds and afpi-
