344 ANALYTIC ORTHOGRAPHY. 
397. The form is accessible in a mutilated (U, u, t,) and it will best suit the languages 
in which I, J, are used correctly, among which it is hoped English will be one. Thus 
the series J I L will exhibit normal I turning to J in the closing, and U in the opening 
direction; and there are good reasons why they should resemble. Their affinity causes 
an interchange in Chris-tian (cvist"sjon, -t’y jon, or -tfon,) with J, and Chris-ti-anity with UL. 
Compare o-li-o, o-lio (6lto, Oljo,) fil-i-al, fil-ial, foliate, folio; il-i-ad, il-iad, va-ri-ous, 
va-rious, cordial-ity, idiot, previous, devious. 
398. This vowel is commonly confounded with I, but it has a more open jaw aperture, 
whilst each may be lengthened or shortened. When made long, it suggests long g, but 
they differ. The following notations have been proposed for e in they, ¢ in them, § there, 
1 in he, and u in his.

399. The universal I, is long in Italian 16 (Lat. neo, Z) and short in félicitaré, with 
true e. In English it is long in machine, marine, fiend, fee, tea, bee, grieve, eel. It is 
* Perverting L to eye. In citing the powers of English ‘i,’ that of marine is omitted, and not because it is i-e, 
for e, and not e—e is cited for the power in eve. The sixteen tone marks of “Comstock’s Perfect Alphabet” 
. “not only represent accent, but inflection and intonation or melody.” But as these differ as much as stress 
aaa pitch in music, they cannot be represented by the same mark in a rational system. The inflection of unac- 
cented syllables is not marked, hence (p. 27) although ‘‘refined..” and “region.” close sentences, the final syl- 
lable of the latter is represented as unaffected, and the first syllable as falling, because this mark means both fall- 
ing inflection and accent. This notation has been used by its author since 1841.
