name _Sangarius_." But
this substance seems to be different from all that are described by
Webster, under the names of "_coralline_," "_corallinite_," and
"_corallite_." See _Webster's Octavo Dict._
[121] The Greek word for _argil_ is [Greek: argilos], or [Greek: argillos],
(from [Greek: argos], white,) meaning pure white earth; and is as often
spelled with one Lamda as with two.
[122] Dr. Webster, with apparent propriety, writes _caviling_ and
_cavilous_ with one _l_, like _dialing_ and _perilous_; but he has in
general no more uniformity than Johnson, in respect to the doubling of _l_
final. He also, in some instances, accents similar words variously: as,
_cor'alliform_, upon the first syllable, _metal'liform_, upon the second;
_cav'ilous_ and _pap'illous_, upon the first, _argil'lous_, upon the
second; _ax'illar_, upon the first, _medul'lar_, upon the second. See
_Webster's Octavo Dict._
[123] Perry wrote _crystaline, crystalize, crystalization, metaline,
metalist, metalurgist_, and _metalurgy_; and these forms, as well as
_crystalography, metalic, metalography_, and _metaliferous_, are noticed
and preferred by the authors of the _Red Book_, on pp. 288 and 302.
[124] "But if a diphthong precedes, or the accent is on the preceding
syllable, the consonant remains single: as, to toil, toiling; to offer, an
offering."--_Murray's Octavo Gram._, p. 24; _Walker's Rhym. Dict._,
Introd., p. ix.
[125] Johnson, Walker, and Webster, all spell this word _sep'ilible_; which
is obviously wrong; as is Johnson's derivation of it from _sepio_, to hedge
in. _Sepio_ would make, not this word, but _sepibilis_ and _sepible_,
hedgeable.
[126] If the variable word _control, controul_, or _controll_, is from
_con_ and _troul_ or _troll_, it should be spelled with _ll_, by Rule 7th,
and retain the _ll_ by Rule 6th. Dr. Webster has it so, but he gives
_control_ also.
[127] _Ache_, and its plural, _aches_, appear to have been formerly
pronounced like the name of the eighth letter, with its plural, _Aitch_,
and _Aitches_; for the old poets made "_aches_" two syllables. But Johnson
says of _ache_, a pain, it is "now _generally_ written _ake_, and in the
plural _akes_, of one syllable."--See his _Quarto Dict._ So Walker: "It is
now _almost universally_ written _ake_ and _akes_."--See _Walker's
Principles_, No. 355. So Webster: "_Ake_, less properly written
_ache_."--See his _Octavo Dict._ But Worcester seems rather to prefer
_ache_
