REMARKS ON THE LETTER M.
M is the tentli letter of the Irish alphabet, and is counted among the strong consonants, called con^omeA'OA ceAtina, nii.I
then has tlie force of w consonant ; as, A tiiÁcAip, his mother; & tiiAigneati, his virgin, are pronounced & FÁciip, & V'Áig-
oion. It is called tTluin, from nium, tl:
As to i i figure in the Irish and old Saxon, it resembles the
Hebrew Mem, so called I'rom tin' >nin 1.

We think it well worth observing here, that our language bears a perfect resemblance, in the disposition of its pronouns, to the
of ordering them in the Hebrew ; for the latter divide them into classes, wliich they respectively called pi'tc/ixa
or pi-cpositive and subjunctive pronouns. The prepositive are set befnre words, and tlie iiilijunotive are \\ ritteii
in the end of words; both equally deti'rmme the person, M, when aspirated, is often cuj lound..
aspirated, because they both souuil like v consonant, as
