 388 V 1. B. hears it in Scotch Gaelic laogh ; it may be produced by saying (uu) and suddenly opening the niouth, see (ce'u). (o?'u) acute inchoaut diphthong, art. 7 ix, or (uu), begun with the mouth open and without internal rounding, very common in south Lancashire and Cheshire. (02) V 9. B. makes it the " narrow " form of (a), and the regular form of LS up, come ; Sw. occ. LS form, (ao) V 22. B. hears it as the regular E sound of er, ir, yr. Sw. hears it in the first element of hozt? (hao'w), which E. finds dialectal. (a>) a dialectal south-west English sound of (a) through which a sound of (A, D) seems to run, and usually appreciated as the latter. P. (p ph prh, p v ph p P). (p) S3gr, Cil3, E peeping, perfectly mute, art. 8. (ph) S 1 ff, C iii 12, Hungarian /, MG <, an (f) spoken by the lips only without the teeth, mouth in position for blowing to cool, flated form of (bh), which see. (prh) C v 13, flated form of (brh), common with babies before they can speak. (pj) Cil2, mute of (ph), the lips closed flat to form a complete stop, theoretical.

B. hears it before mutes, as si;ik (siqhk) ; E. does not, art. 11. (qj) C x 4, palatalized (q), different from (qj). R. (r rh rsh, r o r o h, v r ( rh v r o, r rh riv, r o , R R o , a).

(r ) S 5 c, C ii 8, imperfect (d), the tongue not quite in contact, almost (zhj) ; imperfect (r), the flap being omitted, con- sidered by B. and Sw. as normal (r), a sign for flapping being added where a trill is used. Sv. makes E r before a vowel regularly ( 1 r ). To E., a born Londoner, (r ) before a vowel is very difficult to utter. (r h) Sic, flated (r ), theoretical. ( v r) C vi 9, SP rey, IT re, fully trilled r with the point of the tongue advanced to the gums. ( v rh) C v 9, flated ( v r), occ. F ndtre.

(R) C vi 7, reverted or cerebral r, the underpart of the point of the tongue brought near the palate, and, according to E.'s observations, allowed to flap, but constantly asserted to be unflapped, see (R O ). Common in modern Indian, not in SN, and found in Norway and Sweden. 1 The charac- teristic of south of England dialectal speech, and parent of received E r and the vocal degeneration of r, art. 7 vii. By some considered as greatly retracted (r ; ). (R O ) C iv 7, uuflapped variety of (R), supposed to prevail for (R), which see. (j) art. 7 vii, fully degenerated vocal (R), which may be followed permissively by a trilled or flapped (r), forming the mur- mur diphthongs. S. (s sh shj sj, x s x sh, s, sj). (s) S 1 e, C iii 9, E seal, hissing, with a convex tongue forming a central strait, the sides being held firmly by the palate and teeth, point tense and unruffled, with many uncon- scious varieties. (sh) S If, C iii 7, E rash, tongue retracted in respect to (s), upper surface rather hollowed than convex, see (9!!, shj) and occ. lips projected, as E hus& (hash 5 ). (shj) CiiiS, (sh) with convex tongue, tip somewhat depressed, i Englische Philologie: I. Die lebende Sprache, p. 4.

( v s) C iii 9, point of tongue advanced nearly to teeth. LLB. hears it in Tuscan sharp IT lo do, usually taken as (,t v sio). ( 4 sh) advanced (shj), tongue convex and nearer the palate. LLB. hears it in Tuscan pece (peshe), and considers it the only proper sound of IT c before e and i, which is usually assumed to be (^sh) or ( s tj) ; but an Englishman's (tj) is quite in- telligible. (s) AR. y, (soad), according to Lepsius a close emphatic s oi^.s 1 ), see (K) and (d, t, 2). (gj) Irish Gaelic ciste (^kjf'jijtje,) treasure, s of the same series as (tj), which see. [Lecky, MS. communication.] T. (t tj th tj, v t, th,, t, T TJ, t tj). (t) S 3 c, C i 8, E too, tip of the tongue far behind the gums, generated by reverted (T), with which it is confused by Indians, who use their cerebral J ^ for E (t, d). (tj) E cAest = (tjshj), art. 12, not to be confounded with (kj), which see. (th) S 1 d, C iii 10, E thin, Icelandic j?, MG 6, AR i>, point of tongue against back of front teeth, hiss produced by flatus escaping between tongue and teeth, not necessarily be- tween the interstices of the teeth, as Sw. says. (tj) Ci6, Hungarian ty, palatalized (t), art. 12, see (dj). ( v t) SBd, Ci9, F tes, usual Continental alveolar t, with the tongue against gums, SN fl, found in some midland and northern E dialects before r or -er, see ( v d). (th,) C iii 10, SP z everywhere, and c before e, i, oz sopo, ceceo cinto, lisped (s), tongue against gums, and hence a retracted (th), see (dh,). LLB. hears it in IT vizio, where it is gener- ally assumed to be ( V t 4 s). (t} AR k (<aad), which Lepsius describes as a close emphatic (.^d 1 ), see (K). (T) C i 7, reverted or cerebral SN 1, with underpart of the point of the tongue against the palate, common in south-west E in connexion with (R), parent of received E (t). (TJ) consonantal diphthong =(T9h), heard in Wiltshire in con- nexion with (R), as (ERTJ) rich. (t) Irish Gaelic " broad " post-aspirated mute, as in Irish Gaelic alt, td, tu. The place of the tip of the tongue is apparently unimportant, but it is generally assumed to be dental or interdental. The essential points are that the tongue is laterally expanded and slack, while the back is raised, leaving a hollow in the " front. " It is followed by a slow flated glide, while the position changes to that of the vowel, resembling a greatly predominating (th) mixed with (kh). The voice is not put on till the vowel position is reached. This is constantly used for (th) by Irish speakers of English. [Lecky, MS. communication.] (tj) Irish Gaelic "slender" form of post-aspirated mute, as in aiU, of a knuckle ; the tongue is spreading and slack ; the part nearest to the palate is about an inch on the inner side of the tip, being more towards the back than in the position for (s), the "front" being also raised ; the tip is not turned up and its position is unimportant. The glide of the post-aspiration sounds like a predominating (jh) mixed with (s), being tighter at first and looser afterwards than the E (jh). [Lecky, MS. communication.] U. (u tia, u uh UVL, !, u). (u) V3, T15, short E to unemphatic, F powle, replaced by (u) in E ; long E too. Some phouetists make the E long (uu) to be always (uu) or (ww). (ua) art. 7 vi, where (ii) replaces (w), F oie (ua), owi (iii), in soi, dot'gt, &c. LLB. considers that (s, t d), &c., are labialized, art. 12. (u) V 4, T 14, E full, wood, woman, could, "wide " form of (u). (uh) V 16. B. hears it in the "colloquial" use of E awfwl, fissure, nature, fortune (which E. does not understand), but says also that it is (u) with a raised tongue, and hence = (us). Sw. hears it in SWD wpp, Sv. and St. in Norwegian Imska. (uu) art. 7 ix, grave inchoant diphthong, possibly Sw.'s (uv), com- mon dialectally in Cumberland and Westmorland. (MJ) midland E vowel replacing (a, a). E. feels it to be near (o 1 ), or to be a "thickened" (u) ; Mr Hallam, to whom it is native, considers it to have the tongue intermediate to its position for (o, u), and the closure of the lips equal to that for (o), but made with flattened lips. In Yorkshire, Cumberland, and Westmorland it is replaced by (u), with which most received speakers confound it. (u) V 15. Sw. hears it long in Norwegian and SWD lu;s, ui, and says it is not far from F Iwne, but see (y). St. 3 considers it intermediate between (u, y). 3 Ibid., p. 328.
