_Sibilants and Sonisibilants._

W. Of the Germans; if the lips be appressed together, as informing the
letter P; and air from the mouth be forced between them; the W
sibilant is produced, as pronounced by the Germans, and by some of the
inferiour people of London, and ought to have an appropriated
character as thus M.[TN: Upside down W.]

W. If in the above situation of the lips a sound be produced in the
mouth, as in the letter B, and the sonorous air be forced between
them; the sonisibilant letter W is produced; which is the common W of
our language.

F. If the lower lip be appressed to the edges of the upper teeth, and
air from the mouth be forced between them, the sibilant letter F is
formed.

V. If in the above situation of the lip and teeth a sound be produced
in the mouth, and the sonorous air be forced between them, the
sonisibilant letter V is formed.

Th. Sibilant. If the point of the tongue be placed between the teeth,
and air from the mouth be forced between them, the Th sibilant is
produced, as in thigh, and should have a proper character, as [TN: Looks
like the Greek 'phi'].

Th. Sonisibilant. If in the above situation of the tongue and teeth a
sound be produced in the mouth, and the sonorous air be forced between
them, the sonisibilant Th is formed, as in Thee; and should have an
appropriated character as [TN: Looks like the Greek 'theta'].

S. If the point of the tongue be appressed to the forepart of the
palate, as in forming the letter T, and air from the mouth be forced
between them, the sibilant letter S is produced.

Z. If in the above situation of the tongue and palate a sound be
produced in the mouth, as in the letter D, and the sonorous air be
forced between them, the sonisibilant letter Z is formed.

SH. If the point of the tongue be retracted and applied to the middle
part of the palate, as in forming the letter K, and air from the mouth
be forced between them, the letter Sh is produced, which is a simple
sound and ought to have a single character, thus [TN: Looks like the
Greek 'lambda'].

J. French. If in the above situation of the tongue and palate a sound
be produced in the mouth, as in the letter Ga; and the sonorous air
be forced between them; the J consonant of the French is formed; which
is a sonisibilant letter, as in the word conclusion, confusion,
pigeon; it shoul
