WORDS VARYING IN THEIR ETYMOLOGY.

Rem.-Words are similar in Orthoëpy, when they are pronounced with the same sound of the same letter.

EXAMPLES There, their; all, awl.

They are similar in Orthography, when they are formed by the same letters, similarly arranged.

EXAMPLES-Read, read; ex'tract, extract'.

They are similar in Etymology, when they perform a similar office in the construction of a phrase or sentence.

But it is plain that words similar in Orthoëpy differ in their Orthography and words of similar Orthography perform widely different cffices in different connections.

Il should always be remembered by the scholar, that the OFFICE a word -not its shape-determines its Etymology.

"The office of a word in a Sentence de

termines its place in the Diagram."

Then

OBS.-When a Sentence is properly placed in Diagram, the young pupil can easily determine the office (and consequently the class) of each word, and its most important modifications. Thus in the Diagram above, 1 and 25 occupy the place of Nouns or Pronouns, which must be in the Nominative Case.

7 is

2, 7, 11, and 26, are Verbs-2, 11, and 26, are Transitive— Intransitive.

3 and 12 are Nouns or Pronouns, and must be in the Objective Case.

22 and 16 may be Nouns, Pronouns, or Infinitive Verbs, and are Objects of Prepositions.

4,

5,

13, 14, 20, are Adjectives. 8, 9, are Adverbs.

17, 18, 19, 23, 24, are Adjectives-if 22, 16, are Nouns or Pronouns. They are Adverbs-if 22, 16, are Infinitive Verbs. 6 and x are Relative Pronouns 6 is in the Nominative Case-x is in the Objective Case.

6 to 19, inclusive, constitute an Adjective Sentence, which

describes (1.)

(25, 26, x,) constitute an Adjective Sentence, which describes (22.)

(21, 22, 23, 24,) and (15, 16, 17, 18, 19,) constitute Phrasesand, because they are attached to 3 and 12, they are Adjectives. 21 and 15 are Prepositions.

O and 10 are Conjunctions-0 introduces a Sentence-10 connects two words.

The Sentence to which this Diagram is applicable is Complex. The Principal Sentence is Simple-Transitive-the Subject of which is qualified by two Words and one Sentence—the Object is qualified by one Word and one Phrase.
