This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... As oe in Malagasy, hoe, saying. Oi as ooee in English. As oi in Malagasy, manoitra, to raise by a lever. Triphthongs are mostly used to pronounce and write foreign names of persons, towns and countries; as Emanioela, Immanuel, Iodaia, Judea. Section V. Syllables. SOME syllables are formed by vowels, and diphthongs, as I-va, low, a-vo, high; eo, here about, there near; io, that, but never. All other syllables are formed by the combination of vowels and consonants, or of a consonant and a vowel; except when there are two or more consonants, or vowels in the word; as a-la, forest; a-le-ha, may, course; ta-ny, earth; te-ny, word; man-ka-to, to obey; an-dro, day; ma-nia, to go astray; Io-dai-a Judea. Syllables are divided into Monosyllables, Dissyllables, Trisyllables and Polysyllables. (1) Monosyllables are words of one syllable, as ra, blood, vy, iron. (2) Dissyllables are words of two syllables, as maro, many, ma-ty, dead, is dead. (3) Trisyllables are words of three syllables, as la-ni-tra, heaven, shy, ta-na-na, town. (4) Polysyllables are words of many syllables, as fan-ja-ka-na, kingdom, fi-re-ne-na, nation, tribe. c The vowel or diphthong makes the first syllable, when the word begins with a vowel or diphthong, the consonant and the following vowel makes the succeeding syllable, as a-lo-na, waves, or billows, ai-na, life, a-ve-lao, let it alone, let it be left. When the word has double or triple consonants, the first consonant joins the preceding vowel and the latter, the succeeding, as om-by, cattle, on-dry, sheep, fan-dra-ka, chisel. PART II. ETYMOLOGY.
