. n In scarcely any part of the language does theinfluence of accent on the sound of the vowels ap-pear more perceptibly than in the prepositional syljables, Col, Com, Con, and ('or. W hen llie accent is outhese syllables, in college, commissary , conclave, corrlgible, &c. Arc. the ohas distinctly its short sound.The same may be observed of this o when the piinci-pal accent is on the third syllable, and the secondaryaccent on the first, 543 ; as in colonnade, commenaa-tion, condescension, correspondent, &c. &c.; for inthis case theie is a secondary accent on the fmt sylla-ble, which preserves the o in its true sound, 5QC : butwhen the accent is on the second syllable ibis vowelilides into a sound like short u, and the words To colled, To commit, To convince, To corrupt, &c. 6c c.are heard as if written culled, cummit, cunvince,corrupt, &c. Sic. It is ti ue that when these wordsare pronounced alone, with deliberation, enetgy, andprecision, the o in the first syllable preserves uearlyits true sound ; but this seems to slide insensibly intoshort u the moment we unite these words with others,and p: onounce them without premeditation. The de-liberate and solemn sound is that which I have givenin this Dictionary; nor have I made any difte/encebetween words where the accent is on the second syl-lable; and why Mr. Sheridan, and those who havefollowed him, should in combust, commute, complete,&ic. Ate. give the sound of short 0 in J'rom, and incommand, commit, commence , Sic. See. give the fameletter the sound of short u in drum, 1 cannot con-ceive; they are all susceptible of this sound or none,and therefore should all be marked alike. If custombe pleaded for' this distinction, it may be observedthat this pl*-a is the best in the world when it is evi-dent, and the worst when obscure. Mo such customever fell under my observation ; I have always heardthe first syllable of compare and compel, of commenceand compose, pronounced alike, and have thereforemade no distinction between them in this Dictionary.I have given them all the sound of the 0 in comma,though I am sensible (hat, in colloquial pronunciation,they all approach nearer to the short v, and are simi-lar to the same syllables in comfort, combat, &c. Andit may be laid down as a general rule, without an ex-ception, ‘‘ that 0 in an initial syllable, immediatelyu before the accent, and succeeded by two uncom*** binablc consonants, may, in familiar conversation^“ be prououuced like the iam*» letter in come,dQn€,
