In the Latin decorus the o is long, and therefore has the accent; but in -dedecorus the o is short, and the accent is consequently removed to the antepenultimate; this alteration of accent obtains likewise when the word is used in English, and this accentuation is perfectly agreeable to our own analogy: but because the Latin adjective indecorus has the penultimate long, and consequently the ac-INDEPENDENT, în-dè-pên'dênt. a.

We here see the great preponderance of authority for the short sound of o in all these words of three syllables, not because this letter is short in the Latin words whence they are derived; for risible and visible, which have the i short with us, are risibilis and visibilis in Latin; but because the accent in our English word is antepenultimate, and because this accent has shortening power in all words of this form, which may be called simples, 503, unless the an tepenultimate vowel be u, and then it is always lorg, 509, 511, 537.
