115. D. chry-so-par-i'-a. Gr. xp^o'oy, gold, and irapeid, cheek. Greek diphthong «t hecomes 



long i in Latin: hence, -paria, not -pareia; see also beyond, among the names of pigeons 

 ending in -pelia. 



116. D. nlg-res'-cens. Lat. nigresco, I grow black; an inceptiA^e verb, present participle 



nigrescens, equivalent to being blackish, or partly black. See No. 126. 



117. D. coe-rul-es'-cens [pronounced sayrullaysaynce]. Lat. ccerulesco, I grow blue; a coined 



inceptive verb from coa-uleus, blue ; this from ccelum, the (blue) sky ; compare Gr. ko7\os, 

 hollow, i. e., the vault of heaven, and ccelare or celare, to conceal, as if in a hollow place, 

 &c. N. B. There is constant difference of orthography: either ca- or cce- is defensible; 

 the former seems preferable. In English we may write indifferently coerulean, ccerukan, 

 or cerulean.

in four syllables, with accent on the antepenult ; more correctly as above. Diacritical

 boorn, as it would be according to rule for the quantity of the vowels in Latin.

stripe ; stria, substantive, a furrow, stripe, &c.
