The old spelling has here been retained, as the use of the modern E. j seemed to involve too great an anachronism; but perhaps this is unpractical. Fortunately, the sound is not common. It is also denoted by g before e or i, as noted above. Ex. Iuge (jy·jə), judge.
ie (ee); the same as ee, long and close. Not common. Ex. mischief, also written mischeef (mischee·f).
le, often vocalic (l), as in E. temple (temp·l). But note stables (staa·blez).
ng (ngg); always as in E. linger. Ex. thing (thingg).
o, short (o), as in of (ov). But here note particularly, that it is always (u), i.e. as u in full, wherever it has in mod. E. the sound of the written o in company, son, monk, cousin, &c. Ex. sonne (sun·nə), sun; sone (sun·ə), son[[23]]; monk (mungk); moche (much·ə). In fact, the modern spelling arose from the use of o for u, for mere distinctness in the written form, whenever the sound (u) preceded or followed m or n or i; and in a few other cases.
o long and open, or oo; (ao) or (òò); mod. E. au in Paul, or a in fall. Ex. stoon (staon) or (stòòn), a stone; pl. stones (stao·nez). See [§ 25].
o long and close, or oo; (oo) or (óó); mod. E. o in note, or G. o in so. Ex. sote (soo·tə), sweet; good (good).
N.B. The M.E. ō or oo was never pronounced like the mod. E. oo in root (ruut).
oi, oy (oi). Ex. noise (noi·zə): voys (vois).
