18 sibilati'd and dipjaniniated from Or. if\7/= ((t)vKFi}, a wood ; iirecedi'd by tlie name of 

 William IVnn ; "I'cnn's woods." Tho modern use of the // is less eorreet tlian / would 

 be. The whole word would preferably be written iwnsik-onica, as it is in some ornitho-

 the final spondee of some hexan)eter lines. On the other hard, the coirbination of a 

 mute or y and a liquid does not n.cessarily lengthen a preceding vowel in j)rose ; and 

 some other combinations of consonants also permit the vowel to remain short, in eases 

 of (Jreek words, as Cijrniis or ('ijiimis. We leave it short, as usually heard. — /'cn'.swi- 

 glnsun, a generic- name now often used for this species, is the Gr. wfpia-aos and yXucrna, in 

 allusion to the peculiarity of the laciniate tongue.
