TABLE LX.

In sie, sio, &c.

The following words, having the accent on the vowel preceding s, may be divided two ways; either h-r-a-s bra's, i-e-r yur, brasier; or, b-r-a bra, s-i-e-r zyur, brasier: o-c oc, c-a-s ca'z, occa ́z, i-o-n yun, occasion; or, o-c oc c-a, ca, occa, s-i-o-n zyun, occasion. The learner should be accustomed to divide them both ways, that he may see in what manner the sound ezh, in such words, is produced.

In spelling the following words. the learner should be taught to give c and t their own proper names, when he speaks them separately; but when he unites them with the other letters in the syllables to which they belong, he must give them the power of s, and to i, he must give the power of y; thus, p-r-e-c pres, i-o-u-s yus, precious; l-u-s-c lus, i-o-u-s yus, luscious; v-i-t vis, i-o-u-s yus, vitious; n-a-t nas, ion yun, nas'yun, a-l al, national; r-a-t ras', i-o-n yun, ras'yun, a-l al, rational; a-m am, b-i-t bis, ambis, i-o-n yun, ambition; m-u mu, s-i-c zis, muzis, ian yun, musician, &c. N. B. Ce, ci, se, si, and ti, coming before another vowel, and being pronounced rapidly, will unavoidably run into the simple sound esh; Thus, precious, ocean, nauseous, mission, nation, national, rational, association, pronunciation, propitiation, dictionary, are pronounced presh'us, o'shun, naw'shus, mish'un, na'shun, nash'unal, rash'unal, assosha'shun, pronunsha'shun, propisha'shun, dic'shunery.
