[91] He said to me, ‘Do not go there, for they say that “ghosts” are haunting that place’.
[92] After short vowels and before 𝔢 and 𝔦 of less strongly accented syllables print ſſ: 𝔢ſſ𝔢𝔫, 𝔴𝔦ſſ𝔢𝔫, 𝔩𝔞ſſ𝔢𝔫, 𝔨𝔲̈ſſ𝔢𝔫, 𝔉𝔩𝔲̈ſſ𝔦𝔤𝔨𝔢𝔦𝔱.

APPENDIX IV
DIVISION OF LATIN WORDS
The general rules are practically Priscian’s. They are well summarized in Gildersleeve’s Latin Grammar.
1. ‘In dividing a word into syllables, a consonant between two vowels belongs to the second: a-mo, li-xa.
2. ‘Any combination of consonants that can begin a word (including mn, under Greek influence) belongs to the following vowel; in other combinations the first consonant belongs to the preceding vowel: a-sper, fau-stus, li-bri, a-mnis.
3. ‘The combinations incapable of beginning a word are (a) doubled consonants: sic-cus; (b) a liquid and a consonant: al-mus, am-bo, an-guis, ar-bor.
4. ‘Compounds are treated by the best grammarians as if their parts were separate words: ab-igo, res-publica.’
