Accent and quantity. 



The marks over the generic and specific names, have re- 

 ference, not only to the syllable which is to be accented, but to 

 the quantity of the voivel in the accented syllable, as either 

 long or short. 



Those syllables over which the single mark is placed, have 

 the vowel pronounced long, as in Fra-ga' -ri-a : those over 

 which the double mark is placed, have the vowel pronounced 

 short, as in lie-pat" -i-ca; in the latter case the stress of voice 

 seems thrown upon the consonant ; the two marks may, there- 

 fore, be considered as indicating that the consonant, as well 

 as vowel is accented. 



The general rule respecting words of two syllables is sim- 

 ple, and renders it unnecessary to prefix to such words the 

 marks for accent and quantity. 



Words of two syllables always have the accent on the fast ; 

 if the syllable end with a vowel it is long, as in Cro'-cus ; if it 

 end with a consonant it is short, as in Cac"-tus.
