8. OV FALSE ASPIRACION.
But no exampel can warrant dhe aspiring ideller, dhat pretends to' lead
_heir_, _heritage_, _heritable_, _heritor_; _herb_, _herbage_, _herbalist_;
_honour_, _honorary_, _honourable_; and even dhe _humble humour_ ov dhe
_passing hour_; insted ov _eir_, _erritage_, _erritabel_, _erritor_; _erb_,
_erbage_, _erbalist_; _onnor_, _onnorary_, _onnorabel_; widh dhe _umbel
umor_ ov dhe prezzent _our_; hwich doutles can alone be called _our our_.
Yet aspiracion cannot be denied to' _inherrit_, _inherritance_,
_inherritor_, _heredditary_.

9. DHE GUTTURAL ASPIRATE LOST, OR TRANSMUTED BY MODDERN ORGANS.
Dhe consonants dhat subjoin aspiracion (_h_), ar dhe labial, dental,
lingual, and guttural; or dhe articculants from dhe lips, teeth, tung, and
throat: _p_, _t_, _s_, and _k_; by dhe Lattins turned into _c_: az in
_Philadelphus_ and _Philadelphia_, _Thales_ and _Thalia_, _Sharon_ and
_Sheba_, _Charon_ and _Chilo_, hoom dhe Inglish, havving smoodhed away dhe
aspiracion, ar fain to' call _Caron_ and _Kilo_.
Aincient organs, howevver, dubbelled occazionally dhe guttural, az wel az
dhe labial aspirate; dooing equal justice to' _Bacchus_ and to' _Sappho_:
moddern also, (peculiarly the Inglish,) dhe oddher two'; dhe simpel always
sufficing to' dubbel dhe aspirate. New dialects softening, lost dhe
guttural aspirate; til dhe Spannish probbably recovvered it from dhe
Morish. The Itallian and Spannish, and from dhem dhe Inglish, endevvored
to' make up dhe los, by prefixing dhe simpel dental to' dhe lingual or
sibbilant aspirate, hwich dhe Gallic ear preferred widhout dhe dental;
preferring dherfor dhe vertual _sh_ and _zh_ to' _tsh_ and _dzh_. Inglish
organs loozing, like French, dhe guttural aspirate, edher dropt dhe
aspiracion, az in _carracter_ and _kemmist_ or _kymmist_; from _character_
and _chemist_ or _chymist_; or turned dhe hoal ruf guttural into' dhe
smoodh labial aspirate. So softening _cough_, _hough_, _trough_, _through_,
_though_; _rough_, _tough_, _slough_, _chough_, widh dhe proppers _Hough_,
_Brough_, and _Loughborough_; into' _cof_, _hof_, _trof_; _throo_ or
_thro'_, and _dho_: _ruf_, _tuf_, _sluf_, _chuf_; _Huf_, _Bruf_, and
_Lufburrough_ or _Lufburrow_. But _Gough_ perhaps Orrigin recalled into'
_Goffe_ or _Gof_; hwile _Lough_ became Inglishly _Luf_, and dhe guttural
graddually melted in _burrow_, ov hwatevver kind.
Aincient ellocucion depressed no aspirate; sattisfied widh _ph_ or _f_,
_th_, _sh_, and _kh_ or _ch_; widhout _bh_ or _v_, _dh_, _zh_ or _gh_. Dhe
labial aspirate gennerated dhe Eollic digamma F (howevver turned), hwich by
and by gave birth to' dhe Lattin V. If primmitive tungs gain dhus at length
won depressive aspirate; succeding expression, particcularly dhe Inglish,
came to' dubbel dhe depressive _v_ az wel az dhe direct _ph_ or _f_. French
articculacion havving no more occazion for such dubbling dhan her parent
Lattin, dhe Inglish acute or sharp accent askt it _evvery_ moment; but
seing no _prescedent_ in oddher picturage, forbore to' _exhibbit_ it, even
until dhe _prezzent our_, dhat Inglish anallogy, matured at last, rezolved
to' be _seen_, az wel az _herd_; to' reggulate practice by theory, and
realize theory in practice.

10. DHE OLD ASPIRATE OV R.
Som Greeks, followed by som Lattins, fancied to' ad rufnes to' dhe licquid
_R_, or to' paint its innate rufnes more foarcibly, by subjoining
aspiracion. Hence rushed dhe _Rhine_ and dhe _Rhone_, dhe _Rhemi_ and
_Rheims_, _Rhoda_ and _Rhodes_; _rhomb_, _rhumb_, _rheum_, and _rhubarb_.
Dhe _Rhine_ brought _Rhenish_; az _rhythmus_ _rhythm_, _rhyme_ and _rhime_;
til at length harmonious _rezon_ introduced _rime_, boath into' French and
Inglish; hwence dhe regennerated _Rine_, pouring purified _Rennish_, rouzed
dhe rappid _Rone_ to' rezistles emmulacion; brought _Roda_ to' _Rodes_, and
_rubarb_ to' _reumatism_. Dhe verry _rinosceros_ disdains now alike to'
ruffen hiz horn widh adscitiscious snorting, and to' stifel even hiz
moddern sibbilacion.
Hwen dhe guttural aspirate lost dhe aspiracion, dhe simpel guttural alone
cood remain: az in _Caron_, _Kiron_, _Akilles_, _Cloe_, _Cronus_; widh
_carracter_, _corus_, and _coral_, stil quite clear ov _corral_: wonce
seen, because wonce herd, _Charon_, _Chiron_, _Achilles_, _Chloe_,
_Chronus_, _character_, _chorus_, and _choral_.
