2. (no6) { (elision, or the substitution of a blank) signifies
DISAPPEARANCE. Let this be the term for the disappearance of anything
previously apparent.#
3. (no7) In the room OF THAT which is called 'it,' let there be
A BLANK. Thus all the final consonants in the ʶɴ jɺ are left
out of view, when these are employed to designate any class of
letters; the use of the h and the rest of the fourteen being to assist
in forming the brief names of these classes, s explained in the rule
here following.#
4. (no8) LET AN INITIAL LETTER, WITH AN 'IT' LETTER AS A FINAL, be
the name of itself, and of the intervening letters. Thus, let 'an,'
formed of 'a' as its initial letter, and of 'h' (No.7) as its
final, be the name of '+' itself and of '<' and '=' which
intervene betwixt '+' and 'h'. So let '+U' be the name
of '+', '<', '=', '@', '', 'B', '+', 'B', '+', that is to say, of
all the vowels; let '' be the name of all the consonants between
'' inclusive in the fifth ʶɴ jɺ, and the '' which closes the
list; and '+' the name of all the letters together, both vowels
and consonants; and so of other |iɽɮ, or names of classes
of letters.#
5. (no9) LET A VOWEL WHOSE TIME (or prosodial length) is THAT
OF short =, long =, and prolated =, be called accordingly
SHORT, LONG, PROLATED. These again are severally threefold,
according to the division of 'acutely accented &c.,' here following.#
6. (no10) A vowel uttered WITH A HIGH TONE is said to be
ACUTELY ACCENTED. (The grammarians describe this accentuation
as being the result of employing, in the utterance of the vowel,
what they call the upper half of the organ , that is to say of
the palate, lips, &c., see No.14).#
7. (no11) A vowel uttered WITH A LOW TONE is said to be GRAVELY ACCENTED.#
8. (no12) When there is A COMBINATION of the acute and grave
accent, the vowel HAS THE CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT. The application of the
three accents to the three several prosodial lengths gives nine
varieties of each vowel. This nine-fold variety is further doubled
by the presence or absence of nasality, which is next to be defined.#
9. (no13) Let THAT WHICH IS PRONOUNCED BY THE NOSE ALONG WITH THE MOUTH
be called NASAL. Thus, of the letters + < = @, there are severally
eighteen different modifications. Of the letter there are only
twelve, because it does not possess the long (but only the short
and the prolated) prosodial time(No.9). Of the letters B B + + also
only twelve modifications,
because these have not the short prosodial time.#
10. (no14) Let two letters HAVING THE SAME ORGAN (or place of origin)
such as the palate, &c., and attended WITH THE SAME EFFORT of utterance
within the mouth, be called HOMOGENEOUS one with another. Eiɪx
remarks on this : 'The homogeneousness of @ and ,one with another, should
be stated'. This form of expression - viz., 'should be stated'-distinguishes the suplementary remarks (iE) of Eiɪx.#
11. (no17) Let a letter, denoted by the |iɽ +h, NOT pronounced
as AN AFFIX or operative agent, but as something to be operated upon, AND
let in like manner A LETTER FOLLOWED BY AN INDICATORY =, be the name of
(and so imply) its homogeneous letters also.#
12. (no18) Let the CLOSEST PROXIMITY of letters be called CONTACT(xi).#
13. (no19) LET CONSONANTS UNSEPARATED by vowels be called A CONJUNCTION
of consonants.
14. (no20) LET THAT WHICH ENDS IN "SUP"(No. 137) OR IN "TIN"(No 408) be
called PADA (or inflected word, as distinguished frmo root, or that
which has undergone no such inflection).#
15. (no21) Instead OF a letter denoted by the |iɽ <E , let there
be one denoted by the |iɽ h , in each instance WHERE one
denoted by the |iɽ +U immediately follows.In the case, for
example, of the word v (meaning "the intelligent") followed by
the word #{ɺ( "to be worshipped").#
16. (no22) WHEN A TERM IS EXHIBITED IN THE SEVENTH CASE (No. 137) the
operation directed is to be understood as affecting the state OF
WHAT immediately PRECEDES that which the term denotes.#
17. (no23) When a common term is obtained as a substitute, let
THE LIKEST of its significates, to that IN THE PLACE of which it
comes, be the actual substitute. Of the four letters denoted
by h , , being palatal, is the likest to <. Thus we have
got v{ɺ, which furnishes an occasion for another rule
to come into operation.#
18. (no 24) Of ɮ, after +U, the reduplication is optional; BUT
NOT IF +U FOLLOW. In v{ɺ the v is ɮ ( this denoting all
the consonants except ), and it follows = ( +U), and it is not
followed by +U , being followed by . Therefore, if we make the
optional reduplication, we get vv{ɺ. This calls another rule
into operation. #
19. (no25) Instead OF the letters called Zɱ there shall
be Vɺ IF Zɺ FOLLOW. Thus, instead of the first v(Zɱ)
of vv{ɺ, since v, (Zɺ) follows it, there must be Vɺ ;
