ETHNOLOGY. 



[App..

etymological

to write 



the words Am^v^m. (Engl.)? Stufi? (Germ.), ventura (ItaL), Je (Fr.) 



ame 



(u) appropriated to the vowel sound in the English word cwt If, 

 therefore, the necessity of imitating a well-educated usage require 

 us to indicate (as no doubt it often does) a certain approach to this 

 obscure v, it should be done by subscribing the point beneath the 

 appropriate representation of the true vowel thu?^, Amerika, stuufe, 



ventuura, zhe, Benaares. 

 Compound consonants, as in church, journal, may be resolved into 



their elements (tsh and dzh). 

 S. Particular attcDtion should be paid to the accentuation by a single 

 mark (0 ^^ ^^^^ syllable in each word where the prominent stress 

 is laid in pronunciation, nor should the intonation of the voice be 

 altogether neglected, though very difficult to reduce to any regular 

 system of rules or signs, and rather a matter of description or 

 mu5^ical notation than of alphabetic registry.
