INDEX
FOR REFERENCE AS TO THE PRONUNCIATION OF PROPER NAMES.
Note. The ordinary rule in adapting Greek and Latin names to the English manner of pronunciation is, in all words of more than two syllables, to throw the accent on the third syllable from the end, unless the second from the end be a long syllable, in which case the accent falls upon this. Thus we say Dem´ades, the a being short, but Dromocli´des, the i being long. It must be admitted that this rule, in Greek words at any rate, gives a pronunciation totally different from the true one. It may be added that e and es at the end of a word are to be sounded, and that eus, as in Ægeus, is almost always one syllable.
