oe. When printed separately (unless by mistake), the e makes an addi- 
tional syllable, as in Danae (dan'-a-e) , Callirrhoe (kal-lir'-ro-e) , Meroe 
(mer'-o-e), Leucothoe (leu-koth'-o-e) , Leu-c6n'-o-e, Isoetes (I-so'-e-tez). 
On the other hand, beware of making two syllables out of one in words 
like ^gilops (ej'-i-lops). Mala (Ma'-ya), Hygeia (hi-je'-ya), Harpyia (har- 
pl'-ya). All words ending in aius, aia, eius, eia, have the accent on 
the a, e ; and the i=y. Of course final e is never mute in words 
which retain their classical ending. Do not omit it in Dl'-ce, Dine 
(dir'-se). Ate (a'-te), Clytie (klish'-i-e, 12), Hecate (hek'-a-te). Aphrodite 
(af '-ro-dl'-te) , Eunice (yoo-ni'-se, spelled wrongly in list of asteroids 
Eunike);but many words drop their classical endings and have anglicized 
forms in mute e. 
ACCENT. 
In words of Greek origin, the accent which they had before being 
latinized is entirely disregarded. 
1. In dissyllables, accent the penult. 
2. In polysyllables, (a) accent the penult if it is classically long 
by nature or position ; (b) otherwise, accent the antepenult. No ex- 
ceptions. If the penult is common, treat it as short. 
3. In long words there is a secondary accent on the second syl- 
lable before the primary accent, if such syllable is classically long 
have been syllabified and accented without parentheses. Such words are not 
italicized. In the words respelled in parentheses, the vowels marked long have 
their common English long sounds, as in mate, mete, mite, mote, mute ; those 
marked short are sounded as in mat, met, fit, not, nut ; ah, as a in father ; a 
final, as in quota; other unmarked vowels as they would be in an English syllable 
of the same spelling; shj, as in shun; zh, as s, in pleasure; g, as in go; j, as in 
join ; other letters have their usual English sounds. The division into syllables 
is to show the vowel sounds only, and would not in some words be correct for 
other purposes. The sign of equality between two words indicates that the first 
is pronounced as the second. For brevity’s sake, when a syllable is long by 
position, I speak of the vowel as long by position. This can not produce con- 
fusion, as the English method does not distinguish between natural and position- 
al length. A few small exceptions, a knowledge of which is not necessary for 
pronouncing scientific words, have been intentionally qmitted. The secondary 
accent is marked
