Quoth—kwōth or kwŭth, not kwŏth.
Rabies—rā´bi-ēz, not răb´ēz. Madness, as that of dogs.
Radish—răd´ish, not rĕd-ish.
Raillery—răl´ler-y, not rāl´ler-y. Slight ridicule; pleasantry.
Raise—Rise. Raise is a transitive verb, or one in which the action passes over to an object. Present tense, raise; imperfect tense and past participle, raised; present participle, raising. Rise is an intransitive verb, the action not passing over to an object. Present tense, rise; imperfect tense, rose; past participle, risen; present participle, rising. Errors in the use of these words ought to be avoided by remembering the following rules:
1. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that passes over to an object, use raise, raised, and raising.
2. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that does not pass over to an object, use rise, rose, risen, rising. To avoid further repetition in the method I have adopted to impress upon the mind the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs by contrasted sentences, I would refer the reader to the remarks under Lay. "I will raise in the morning at five," should be, "I will rise," etc. "I will raise the window," etc., is correct, for the action passes to or affects the window. "I will raise myself if I have the strength" is correct, because an object, myself, is furnished. "The price of flour is raising," should be, "The price of flour is rising;" but it is right to say, "The merchants are raising the price of flour." "Gold has raised in value," should be, "Gold has risen in value." "The price of bonds raised in less than an hour," should be, "The price of bonds rose," etc. "The sun is raising," should be, "The sun is rising." "The sun is raising the temperature," is proper. The pulse has risen, but excitement has raised it. The river has risen in its bed and has raised the canal. Birds rise in the air. Arise can often be appropriately substituted for rise.
Rampant—răm´pant, not ram-pant´.
Rapine—răp´ĭn, not răp´een nor rā-peen´.
