Ch has a sound which is analyzed into tsh, as church, chin, crutch. It is the same sound which the Italians give to the c simple before i and e, as citta, cerro.
Ch is sounded like k in words derived from the Greek, as chymist, scheme, choler. Arch is commonly sounded ark before a vowel, as archangel, and with the English sound of ch before a consonant, as archbishop.
Ch, in some French words not yet assimilated, sounds like sh, as machine, chaise.
C, according to English orthography, never ends a word; therefore we write stick, block, which were originally, sticke, blocke. In such words c is now mute.
It is used before l and r, as clock, cross.
D.
Is uniform in its sound, as death, diligent.
It is used before r, as draw, dross; and w as dwell.
F.
F, though having a name beginning with a vowel, is numbered by the grammarians among the semivowels, yet has this quality of a mute, that it is commodiously sounded before a liquid, as flask, fry, freckle. It has an unvariable sound, except that of is sometimes spoken nearly as ov.
G.
G has two sounds; one hard, as in gay, go, gun; the other soft, as in gem, giant.
