Thofe places filled by two ftrokes (=) fignlfi e that Sounds 
may be exprefi'd hy^ the lame pofture of the Mouth with 
their Primitives, anlwering in kind to thofe in the fame 
Rank wherein they ftand, but they would be fo hke in pro- 
nunciation to fome others in the Table, that the difference 
would be too nice for common difcernment, and alfo for

Sounds required, and if neither by this nor by any other 
Conjunction the required found can be made out, it muft be 
a fingle and no compound Sound. 
Whereas thefe fingle founds, vulgarly deferibed as Com- 
pounds ^ ought to have fingle Charafters and Secondly, 
that fome of the fingle CharaCl-ers have in the fame 
language a different Sound, as c in the Words, cm^ mice ;
