§ See IPHIGENIA, in the Initial Vocabulary. [On this subject Carr has the following observation: "Proper names or epithets ending in damia, genia, as Iphigenta, Protogenia, Iphidamia, Laodamia, &c., have the penultimate long. The same remark applies to names of towns formed from the names of individuals, as Antiochia from Antiochus, Alexandria from Alexander, Cassandria from Cassander, Philadelphia from Philadelphus, Seleucia from Seleucus, &c."

HA

Accent the Antepenultimate.

The ancients sometimes separated the vowels ei in this termination, and sometimes pronounced them as a diphto consider them as a diphthong, and to pronounce it as long or double e; which, from its squeezed sound, approach. es to the initial y, and makes these words pronounced as if written Ele-jeyah, Hy-jé'yah, &c. This is the pronunciation

Malacha, Pyrrhica, Adatha, Agatha, Badenatha, Abaratha, which ought to be adopted; but scholars, who are fond of Monumetha.

*As the accent is never on the last syllable of Greek or Latin proper names, the final a must be pronounced as in English words of this termination; that is, nearly as the interjection ah!-See Rule 7, prefixed to the Initial Vocabulary.

displaying their knowledge of Greek, will be sure to pronounce Elegeia, Hygeia, or, rather, Hygieia, Antheia, and Deiopeia, with the diphthong like the noun eye; while Cartheia, or Carteia, Aquileia, Pompeia, and Tarpeia, of Latin original, are permitted to have their diphthongs sounded like double e, or, which is nearly the same thing, if the vowels are sep arated, to sound the e long as in equal, and the i as y consonant, articulating the final a.-See note on Achaia.

Of all the words ending in ica, Cleonica, Veronica, and Thessalonica are the only three which have the penultimate accent. [To these Nas-i'ca should be added. See Initial For a more complete idea of the sound of this diphthong, Vocabulary-Ed.] See Rule the 29th, prefixed to the Initial see the word PLEIADES, in the Initial Vocabulary.
