But there is no need of more testimonies, since examples are everywhere obvious to those reading the Greek writers, in whom leitourgia is employed for public civil burdens or ministries. And on account of the diphthong, grammarians do not derive it from liteh, which signifies prayers, but from public goods, which they call leita, so that leitourgeoh means, I attend to, I administer public goods.
They will have the truth of the matter. Intricate and entangled as is the history, for instance, of the Arian controversy that controversy which "turned on a diphthong," as Carlyle said in his younger days it represented far more than mere logomachy, as Carlyle saw later on.
"Dog" should be spelt, properly and precisely, "dog." When it is used in the sense to mean not "a dog" or "one dog" but two or more dogs in other words what we grammarians are accustomed to call the plural it is proper to add to it the diphthong, s, pronounced with a hiss like z in soup.
Gibbon remarks that the greatest of theological controversies which racked the Roman Empire and affected the peace of millions turned on the question whether a certain word should be spelled with one diphthong or another. A like disproportion between the vastness of results and the minuteness of verbal distinction is exhibited in this decision by the House.
In the Middle Ages the cedilla was commonly dropped, leaving the e plain; and so mostly it remained until the sixteenth century revived the diphthong, or at least the two double letters.
Jerry pounced again, I was laughing too hard to, and said: "It's not olives, silly; it's an abbreviated French way of saying how old we are." Then I had to pounce on him, and tell him it was Latin, as he might know by the diphthong. By that time Greg had written "Gregory Holford, Ate 8," across the bottom, very large, and Jerry said he might as well have put 88 and had done with it.
Mr C. began to breed this class of stock about twenty years ago, and "Lord Scarboro'," "Mosstrooper," "Beeswing," "Garioch Boy," "Scarlet Velvet," and "Diphthong," are some of the celebrated bulls that have been introduced into the herd. "Scarlet Velvet" and "Diphthong" gained the Aberdeenshire challenge-cup in 1862-63.
Feet now rhymed with the old write and the present beat. Foot now rhymed with the old out and the present boot. Mice is now pronounced mais. The resulting diphthong may be phonetically rendered au, though it too varies considerably according to dialect. Mouse, then, is now pronounced maus. The older vowel, however, is still preserved in most words of this class, such as fool, moon, spool, stoop.
Ha! don't you see? there she is on the other side, crowning Claudius." "Then there is an E." "Something about Aeneas," suggested Norman gravely. But Ethel was sure that could not be, because there was no diphthong; and a fresh theory was just being started, when Blanche's head was thrust in to know what made them all so busy.
And haters are thumbscrews, Scotch boots, and Spanish inquisitions to themselves. In five words would they were a Siamese diphthong he who hates is a fool. For several days our Chamois was followed by two of these aforesaid Tiger Sharks. A brace of confidential inseparables, jogging along in our wake, side by side, like a couple of highwaymen, biding their time till you come to the cross-roads.
