FOOTNOTES:
[1] The weight of authority is for ȧ-sĕt´ĭk, though ȧ-sē´tĭk would distinguish this word from another word, ascetic, of different meaning.
[2] This expression has become thoroughly anglicized.
[3] There is a very close balance in the pronunciation of this word. Perry, Knowles, Cull, Goodrich, and Fyfe prefer ē´k[+o]-n[+o]m´ĭ-kal, while Cooley and Ayres prefer ĕk´[+o]-nŏm´ĭ-kal.
[4] For the pronunciation ī´thẽr and nī´thẽr there is no authority, either of analogy or of the best speakers. It is an affectation, and, in this country, a copy of a second-rate British affectation.—Richard Grant White.
