REMARKS ON THE LETTER T.<br />

letter r, that when it is aspii-ate J, or witli a subjoined li, it is then rendered quiescent, and suppressed in the pronunciation<br />

as in the word a teAtijA, his tongue, which is pronounced A he<strong>An</strong>jA. <strong>An</strong>other singularity occurring on this subject is,<br />

that nouns <strong>of</strong> the masculine gender beginning with S must receive the prefix c, when they are <strong>of</strong> the genitive case singular,<br />

preceded by the article <strong>An</strong> ; ex. niufLÁc <strong>An</strong> c-fbéibe, the top <strong>of</strong> the mountain; béAVbAÓ <strong>An</strong> c-|-piAin, the mouth-piece <strong>of</strong><br />

the bridle; iMom-ciAbb <strong>An</strong> c-fe<strong>An</strong>5Áin, the forecast <strong>of</strong> the ant; jbocAi" a» c-donnAiJ, the cunning <strong>of</strong> the fox. But in<br />

the genitive plural, we say, tnuttAig nA fteibe, béAttiACA nA nM<strong>An</strong>, iionii-ciAtt TlA fe<strong>An</strong>g<strong>An</strong>, etc.<br />
