But surely a vocal groop cannot shrink into' an Inglish shut vowel: nor
cood dhe following French, or almoast French, be suppozed Inglish words:
_souple_, _couple_; _double_, _trouble_; _nourish_, _flourish_; _courage_,
_courteous_, _country_, _cousin_; _journey_, _journal_; _sojourn_,
_adjourn_, and _touch_; more dhan such oddities claim continnuance, az
_young_, _rough_, or _tough_: for _suppel_ (alreddy almoast Inglish in
_supple_,) _cuppel_; _dubbel_, _trubbel_; _nurrish_, _flurrish_; _currage_,
_curteous_; _contry_ (ettymolodgical substitute ov _cuntry_; like _yong_,
ov _yung_;) _cozzen_ az _dozzen_, no more _dozen_! _jurney_, _jurnal_;
_sodjurn_, _adjurn_, widh _tutch_; _tuf_ and _ruf_: not to' reprezent dhe
so duly exploded, az _authour_, _succour_, _superiour_ for _author_,
_succor_, _superior_; hweddher agent, accion, or adjective.

4. OV OPEN AND SHUT VOWELS.
Az vocallity must often depend on articulacion; consonants, like vowels,
must nedher be too manny, too few, nor oddher dhan dhemselvs. If sounds
open must not seem shut, sounds shut must not appear open. No servile can
attend a shut vowel; hwich, on dhe contrary, must show dhe consonant dhat
shuts it. Hwen a consonant concludes dhe syllabel, after an open vowel; a
servile must gard dhe vowel from dhe consonant, hwich else wood shut it. A
shut vowel dhen must show dhe shutter, or be left apparently open.
Dhe first vowel (_a_), slender or braud, may doutles be more or les so, by
dhe prezzence or absence ov dhe _stres_, or vocal exercion. _A_ slender,
self or substitute, iz open az garded, in _fain_, _fein_, and _fane_;
_wail_, and _wale_; open az unshut, in _paper_, _favor_, _braver_,
_bravest_, _braving_, _braved_: so in _fainer_, _feiner_; az wel az
_faining_, _feined_; _wailing_, _wailed_; _waling_, _waled_; articculated
_pa-per_, _fa-vor_, _bra-ver_, _bra-vest_; _fai-ner_, _fei-ner_, and so on:
for _a singuel consonant_, natturally (dhence nescessarily) _articculates
dhe following, _not dhe preceding_ vowel_. _A_, slender, iz shut in _fan_,
_fanning_; and the like. _A braud (au)_ haz its own distinctive servile in
_faun_ and _fawn_, in _all_ and _awl_, _ball_ and _bawl_. Dho _l_ remain
dhe servile in _balling_, az wel az dhe _w_ in _bawling_; it iz no servile,
but dhe effective shutter, in _ballot_, _bal-lot_, or dhe like.
_A braud_, shut, plays its own part, hwen articculated by _w_ or _qu_
(vertually _cw_,) in dhe propper _Waller_, az in _wallet_ or _quallity_; in
_war_, _quarrel_; _wart_, _quart_; _wan_, _want_, _quantity_, and such. _A
braud_, shut, not so articculated, substitutes _o_ shut: dhus dhe _o_ ov
_cord_ iz perfetly coincident, or unison, widh dhe _a_ in _ward_. Hware _a_
performs its own braud-shut part, _o_ becoms dhe substitute ov _u_ shut, az
in _won word_; _quoth_ and _quod_.
_E_ iz dhus open in _mean_ and _mien_, _tiend_ and _fiend_, _siev_ and
_seiz_; widh _grief_, _griev_; _relief_, _reliev_; _receiv_, _receit_, and
dheir fellows. Open iz _e_ likewize in _meat_, _meet_, and _mete_; (three
coincident!) _meeting_, _meting_, and _meter_; shut in _men_, _pen_, _fen_;
_met_, _set_; _penny_, _fennel_; _penning_, _setting_: and so foarth.
_I_ iz open in _fine_, _finer_, _finish_; _dine_, _dining_, and _diner_;
_rime_, _riming_, and _rimer_; _fi-ner_, _fi-nish_, and so on: shut in
_fin_, _finnish_; _din_, _dinner_; _brim_, _brimmer_; _fin-nish,_ and
simmilar.
_O_ iz open in _Po_, _pole_, _polar_, and _polish_; _mode_, _modish_;
_soal_, _sole_, and _soll_; shut in _sollace_, _pollish_, and _moddest_;
_po-lish_, _pol-lish_, and dhe like.
_U_ iz open in _unit_, _unite_; _tune_, _tunic_, _punic_, _studious_; shut
in _studdy_, _unabated_: _u-nit_, _stu-dent_, _stud-dy_, _un-a-ba-ted_;
such compounds being licenced to' take in dhe singuel consonant ov dhe
prepoziscion.
So hear we, and so see we,
_a_, _e_, _i_, _o_, _u_, open; _ar_, _er_, _il_, _on_, _us_, shut; _may_,
_me_, _my_, _mow_[2], _mew_; _mas_, _mes_, _mis_, _mos_, _must_. So _Mary_,
_marry_; _even_, _sevven_; _ivy_, _Livvy_; _odor_, _odder_; _student_,
_studdy._
If dhen open vowels must appear open, shut vowels must appear shut.
Forrain, even parental, diccions cannot rule dhe picture ov dhe native: for
picture can hav but won oridginal. Widh parrity ov rezon may (and must
often) dhe parental vowel be open, and dhe descendant shut. To' edher iz
_Popes_ laconnic line applicabel:
