When foreign words become English, they are no longer italicized.
Among such words are: rationale, aide-de-camp, quartette, naive,
libretto. It is often a matter of discretion to say whether a word is
so far naturalized that it should be written in the ordinary way.

generally written in italics; as the _Times_, the _Fort-nightly
Review_, the _Great Eastern_.

THE HYPHEN

LXVI. The hyphen is used between the component parts of some compound
words.

Paper-knife; book-keeping; coal-pit; water-carrier;
printing-press; sea-water; man-of-war; now-a-days; high-art
decoration; good-looking.

There is no rule to distinguish the compound words that take a hyphen
from those that do not. If one be in doubt about a particular word,
the best thing to do is to refer to a dictionary.

LXVII. When one syllable of a word ends with a vowel, and the next
syllable begins with the same vowel, the hyphen is placed between the
syllables to indicate that the two vowels do not form a diphthong,
that is, that they should not be pronounced together.

Co-operative; co-ordinate; pre-eminently; re-establish;
re-echo.

In the same way the hyphen sometimes ensures that two consonants shall
be pronounced separately; as in "book-keeping," "shell-less,"
"cock-crow," "sword-dance."

LXVIII. As a rule, a hyphen should not be placed after a simple
prefix: "contravene," "preternatural," "hypercritical," "bilateral."

To this there are some exceptions:

(_a_) "Anti-religious," "ultra-liberal," "semi-lunar," "co-eval." In
these words the pronunciation is more clearly marked by inserting the
hyphen. Compare "antiseptic," "antinomian," "ultramontane,"
"semicircle."

Perhaps among these exceptions should also be included such words as
"pseudo-critic," "non-ego," "non-existent." Compare "pseudonym," where
the prefix is contracted, and "nonentity." Words like "pre-eminent,"
divided for the same reason, have already been noted.

(_b_) "Re-creation," "re-mark." The hyphen distinguishes the
etymological meaning of these words as distinguished from their
derived and ordinary meaning.

(_c_) "Pre-Norman," "anti-Darwinian," "philo-Turk." If the
capital-letter be retained where a prefix is put to a proper name, the
hyphen is obviously necessary.

LXIX. When a number is written in words and not in figures, the words
making up the number, if the
