But dhe Inglish tung, (raddher teeth,) enjoying dhe _dental aspirate_,
direct and depressive (_th_ and _dh_), beyond perhaps anny oddher language,
aincient or moddern; can no longuer be denied dhe appearance, hware it so
peculiarly pozesses dhe reallity, ov dubbling az wel az depressing its
power. No more dhen can be confounded dhe aspirates ov _oath_, _oadhs_; ov
_bath_, _badhs_, and _badhe_; ov _Otho_ and _oddher_, _Clotho_ and
_clodhier_, _dhis thing_ and _dhat thing_; _dheze things_ and _dhoze
things_: misaspiracion wil no more embarras, dhan misarraingement, _Dhe
Theater_.

6. OV REDUNDANT SERVILES.
If _defiscience_ ov symbols hav been so ezily and so amply exampelled; a
ballance may be proffered in _redundance_; ov consonants, no les dhan ov
serviles. Hwen evvery mute minnister waz supplied to' vocallity; dhe
hardening gard ov _g_, at least, shood not hav been forgotten. If _i_ waz
indispensabel in _aingel_ and _dainger, u_ iz az recquizite in _anguel_ and
_anguer_, az in _guerdon_. _Guet_ and _guiv_ demand dhe (_u_) hardener, az
boldly az _gues_ and _guilt_. So redundance alreddy recalls, in order to'
explode, _guess_ and _give!_ Widh dhis not onely _seeing_ (for _seing_) and
dhe like; but dhe falsifying final ov _are_, _were_; _awe_, _owe_; _some_,
_come_; _above_, _dove_, _love_, _glove_; _throve_, _drove_, _shrove_,
_shove_, _hove_; for _ar_, _wer_; _aw_, _ow_; _som_, _com_; _abov_, _dov_,
_lov_, _glov_; _throv_, _drov_, _shrov_, _shov_, _hov_: hwere _o_ for _u_
guivs to' the ear, _sum_ distinctive, widh _cum_, _abuv_, and dhe rest.
Superfluous, dhence obstructive, (distractive indeed!) dhe _i_ ov _either_,
_neither_; _heifer_ and _friend_; dhe _o_ ov _people_ and _yeoman_;
_leopard_ and _jeopard_; dhe _u_ ov _eulogy_, az ov _eulogium_; ov
_conduit_, vertually _cundit_: _a_, obviously useles, after an oddherwize
open vowel, in _season_, _reason_, _treason_, _treacle_, _creature_; in
_eave_, _heave_, _weave_, _leave_, _cleave_, _reave_, _greave_; _cease_,
_lease_, _crease_, _grease_; _teaze_, _ease_, _please_; like dhe _e_ final
to' _sieve_, _grieve_, _relieve_, _receive;_ dhe second _e_ in _sleeve_,
_geese_, _fleece_, _freeze_, _breeze_, _squeeze_, _cheese_: for _edher_,
_nedher_; _heffer_, _frend_; _pepel_ and _yeman_, _leppard_, and _jeppard_;
_ellogy_, az _elogium_; widh _condit_: so _sezon_, _rezon_, _trezon_,
_trekel_, _creture_; _eve_, _heve_, _weve_, _leve_, _cleve_, _reve_,
_greve_; _cese_, _lese_, _crese_, _grese_; _teze_, _eze_, _pleze_: _siev_,
_griev_, _reliev_, _receiv_; _sleve_, _guese_, _flece_, _freze_, _breze_,
_squeze_, _cheze_. But, like dhe _i_ ov _heifer_ and _friend_, dhe _o_ ov
_leopard_ and _jeopard_; dhe _u_ ov _eulogy_; iz dhe _a_ ov _leap_-year and
ov _neap_-tide; for _lep_-year and _nep_-tide; nay, shamefoolly, like dhe
superfluity in all dheze, haz dhe _a_ hiddherto' remained in _health_,
_wealth_, and _stealth_; becauz it stil iz nescessary in _heal_, _weal_,
and _steal_! and doutles, for som simmilarly cogent rezon, doz kind _a_
continnue to' gard dhe same _shut vowel_! in _realm_, _earl_, _pearl_;
_earn_, _learn_; _early_, _earnest_; _earth_, _dearth_, _hearth_, _heard_,
_hearse_, _rehearse_, _searce_, _search_, _threat_, _deaf_, _dead_, _head_,
_bread_, _tread_, _dread_, _thread_, _stead_, _lead_, _read_; _ready_,
_steady_, _heady_, _meadow_; _zealous_, _jealous_, _weapon_, _leaven_,
_heaven_, _endeavour_; _pleasure_, _measure_, _treasure_, _leasure_ or
_leisure_! for _helth_, _welth_, _stelth_; _relm_, _erl_, _perl_; _ern_,
_lern_; _erly_, _ernest_; _erth_, _derth_, _herth_, _herd_, _herse_,
_reherse_, _serce_, _serch_; _thret_, _def_, _ded_, _hed_, _bred_, _tred_,
_dred_, _thred_, _sted_, _led_, _red_; _reddy_, _steddy_, _heddy_,
_meddow_; _zellous_, _jellous_; _weppon_, _levven_, _hevven_, _endevvor_,
_plezzure_, _mezzure_, _trezzure_, _lezzure_.
How (alas!) wil BRITTISH LIBBERTY moarn her novvel chains, hwen she must
not onely speak az she thinks, but write as she speaks; hwen _rove_, _lov_,
and _moov_, can chime no more togueddher; hwen _lead_ and _led_, _read_ and
_red_, _live_ and _liv_, _tear_ and _tair_, ar found oppozite, az _East_
and _West_; nay, az open and shut vowels!

7. OV IMPRACTICABEL ARTICULACION.
No les embarrassing iz dhe redundance ov impracticabel articulacion,
iniscial, medial, or final, (in dhe beguinning, middel, or end, ov words:)
dhe first indeed chiefly in forrain names, titels, or terms, hware a
consonant, uncombinabel (mediately or immediately) widh a vowel, remains a
ded rellic: az dhe _c_ ov _czar_ (dho contracted from _Cezar_), dhe _p_ ov
_Ptollemy_ (mere _Tollemy_), or _ptisic_ (for _tizzic_), dhe _b_ ov
_bdellium_, herd onely _dellium_; and even dhe _p_ ov psalm, herd but
_sahm_, dho dhe _l_ be stil audibel in _psalmist_ and _psalmody_, all
effective beside dhe labial (_p_).
