Since won symbol must no more usurp dhe office ov anoddher, o wil no longuer pretend to' paint A braud open (au); in ought, nought, brought, thought, sought, fought, bought; for aught (now indeed aut), and dhe rest: nor wil groat and broad expect anny more, to' be acknolleged graut and braud.
Nedher tongue nor tong (alreddy won ov a pair) can picture tung; dho u stil employ dhe distinctive substitucion ov o in son, male issue; nor les propperly dhe ettymolodgic in yong, mong, mongrel, monk, (widh monkey,) and Monday; in monney, bonney, conney, condit, constabel; az in yolk, so in covver, hovver, plovver; in lovver and glovver, from lov and glov. Cullor (nevver colour) avoids coincidence equally widh collar and coller; dhe latter greekly, not frenchly, affected choler.
But surely a vocal groop cannot shrink into' an Inglish shut vowel: nor cood dhe following French, or almoast French, be suppozed Inglish words: souple, couple; double, trouble; nourish, flourish; courage, courteous, country, cousin; journey, journal; sojourn, adjourn, and touch; more dhan such oddities claim continnuance, az young, rough, or tough: for suppel (alreddy almoast Inglish in supple,) cuppel; dubbel, trubbel; nurrish, flurrish; currage, curteous; contry (ettymolodgical substitute ov cuntry; like yong, ov yung;) cozzen az dozzen, no more dozen! jurney, jurnal; sodjurn, adjurn, widh tutch; tuf and ruf: not to' reprezent dhe so duly exploded, az authour, succour, superiour for author, succor, superior; hweddher agent, accion, or adjective.
4. OV OPEN AND SHUT VOWELS.
Az vocallity must often depend on articulacion; consonants, like vowels, must nedher be too manny, too few, nor oddher dhan dhemselvs. If sounds open must not seem shut, sounds shut must not appear open. No servile can attend a shut vowel; hwich, on dhe contrary, must show dhe consonant dhat shuts it. Hwen a consonant concludes dhe syllabel, after an open vowel; a servile must gard dhe vowel from dhe consonant, hwich else wood shut it. A shut vowel dhen must show dhe shutter, or be left apparently open.
Dhe first vowel (a), slender or braud, may doutles be more or les so, by dhe prezzence or absence ov dhe stres, or vocal exercion. A slender, self or substitute, iz open az garded, in fain, fein, and fane; wail, and wale; open az unshut, in paper, favor, braver, bravest, braving, braved: so in fainer, feiner; az wel az faining, feined; wailing, wailed; waling, waled; articculated pa-per, fa-vor, bra-ver, bra-vest; fai-ner, fei-ner, and so on: for a singuel consonant, natturally (dhence nescessarily) articculates dhe following, not dhe preceding vowel. A, slender, iz shut in fan, fanning; and the like. A braud (au) haz its own distinctive servile in faun and fawn, in all and awl, ball and bawl. Dho l remain dhe servile in balling, az wel az dhe w in bawling; it iz no servile, but dhe effective shutter, in ballot, bal-lot, or dhe like.
A braud, shut, plays its own part, hwen articculated by w or qu (vertually cw,) in dhe propper Waller, az in wallet or quallity; in war, quarrel; wart, quart; wan, want, quantity, and such. A braud, shut, not so articculated, substitutes o shut: dhus dhe o ov cord iz perfetly coincident, or unison, widh dhe a in ward. Hware a performs its own braud-shut part, o becoms dhe substitute ov u shut, az in won word; quoth and quod.
E iz dhus open in mean and mien, tiend and fiend, siev and seiz; widh grief, griev; relief, reliev; receiv, receit, and dheir fellows. Open iz e likewize in meat, meet, and mete; (three coincident!) meeting, meting, and meter; shut in men, pen, fen; met, set; penny, fennel; penning, setting: and so foarth.
