This compound begins with y and ends with oo-ze, extremely dissimilar forms. The most essential intermediate form is one between u-p and l-oo-k. (§ 3. Note 2.) This initial y coalesces with an articulate (h, k, g, ch, j, sh, zh) of similar form (§ 10. 7. (a), (d),) preceding it in the same syllable. In all other cases the y is distinctly preserved, excepting only the cases where the very vocal subtonic, l, or (especially) r-, precedes it in the syllable. The reason of this exception is, obviously, that the articulation of y would cut off the preceding vocality of l or r-, leaving it in a syllable by itself, (§§ 7. and S.;) and in practice the exception extends no farther than the reason for it. That is, the articulation only of y is lost after I and r-, so that, even in those cases, u-se is not changed simply to oo-ze. Two errors prevail extensively, one chiefly in town, the other in the country. The former substitutes oo-ze for the compound u-se, in all cases; the latter substitutes a compound of i-n, or e-nd, with oo-ze. NOTE. The vice of changing the combination of this y and a preceding dissimilar element for an intermediate, which prevailed so extensively a few years since, under the sanction of Walker, is now banished from good society, (§ 5. 3,) except that sh for sy is fixed in a few words; e. g., sure, issue.* * There are a few conservative gentlemen, of the Walkerian school, who probably have the same objection to unlearning any,thing that Falstaff had to "paying back" stolen money, that it is "a double labor," who persist in saying choon, jooty, for tune, duty, &c. Any one has a right to do so, no doubt, if he chooses- the same right that he has to button his coat behind, if that arrangement suit his ideas of propriety and taste. But we have also a right to consider either practice as an "affectation of singularity." - Accented. suit mute, newt duke, juice youth, tube tune, cue cube, feud fume, sued thews, huge gules, mule mews, view nude― cupid duty, feudal dukedom, music tuesday, gewgaw, zeugmabeautiful dubious, muniment humorous, tubular funeral — impute rebuke, induce confuse-renewing presuming, amusing diffusion. lieu clew, lute flute, flew flume, plume blue, slew glue — pluto gluten- dilute illume. rue crew, fruit brute, through shrew, brew drew, grew ruth, rude rule, cruise bruise - truly cruel - intrude imbrued.
