Many words have several meanings, and unless the word is divided into syllables and accentuated, the learner is apt to misapprehend the proper signi- fication. Instances of the kind are numerous — one must suffice here : (ixHa^an^, a groiving pale, bequeathment.

Any one can, by reference to the key pilaced at the head of each page, learn to pronounce every word correctly — so indispensable in a colloquial knowledge of a living language.
