APPENDIX.
CENTENNIAL, sin-ten'ue-ll, a. Consist-ing of a hundred years.— Mason.CENTIPEDE , sen'te-ped, «.
fcj* Biped ami Quadruped are spelled in Johnsonwithout the final e, while Solipede, Palmipede, Plu*mipede, Multipede, ami Centipede , retain it. Theorthography in this case is of importance to the pro-nunciation; and therefore, as the words are of per-tectiy similar original, their spelling ami pronuncia-tion ought certainly to be alike. Biped and Quadra*ped are the words most in use; and as they haveomitted the final e, which there does not seem to beany reason to reUiu, we may infer that the silent andinsensible operation of custom has directed us to dotke same by the rest of the words, and to pronouncethe last syllable 6hort.—See Millipedes,CHAPERON, sliSp-ur-rS&n', s.

£ 3 * When this word signifies a deep descent betweenhills, it seems best to pronounce it so as to rhymewith plough; and, when it means an allowance inwcistht, to rhyme it wilh enough: but this distinctionof sound to distinguish the different meaning of a word,however plausible, is a great inconvenience in Ian-gu<ige.
