CHAP. IV.

Words which end alike, placed in Tables by themselves.

ORDS are either primitive or derivative. A primitive word is that which is not derived from any other word in our language; as, prefer. A derivative word is that which comes from some other word; as, from prefer are derived, prefer'-ing, prefer'-rest, prefer'reth, prefer'-red, prefer'-ment, prefer-able, prefer-ence. Derivative words are generally formed by affixing one or more syllables to the primitive; as, raven, ravenous; faith, faithful, faith-ful-ness. Sometimes the ending of the primitive is changed; as, provide, provi-sion; cohere, cohesion; compel, compul-sion.

NOTE. When the primitive word ends in e, and the termination added begins with a vowel, the e is dropped in the derivative; as, save, sav-ing, sav-est, sav-eth, sav-ed; see, se-est, se-ath, (but double e, accented, is retained before ing; as, seeing)-write, writing, writ er, &c. except, after c, and g, before the termination able; as, service-able, change-able also in other words, when the accent is on the last syllable of the primitive; as agreeable. But when the syllable added begins with a consonant, the e final is always retained as, grace-ful, lovely polite-ness, agree-ment; except after dg, before the termination ment; as, judge, judg-ments acknowledge, acknowledg ment. When the primitive ends iny, they is changed into i, in the derivative; as, cry, cri-est, cri-eth, cri-ed, crier; mercy, merciful; marry, marri-ed, marri-age, &c. But y is retained before the termination ing as, cry, cry-ing; marry, murry-ing. When the primitive ends in ie, thee is dropped, and the i changed into y, before ing; as, die, dy-ing; lie, lying, &c. When the primitive word ends with a single consonant, accented, preceded by a single vowel, that consonant is doubled in the derivative; as, rob, rob-bing, rob-ber; drum, drum-mer; drop, dropped; sit, sitting.
