writing and pronouncing the vowels in connexion with
the consonants, as exhibited in the following examples,
that he may learn to distinguish to what consonant each
vowel in a word belongs.
*** Every syllable begins with a consonant; see
~ 26, 1, where the only exception is given. The accent
is commonly on the final syllable (~ 15, 2): when it is
on the penult, this is indicated as in the Grammar
