l come to see you
after I get home;" that would mean that one would travel back
from his home in Philadelphia to New York to see the other. But
either might say, "Come and see me when you get home."

=Comparable=--k[)o]m'pa-ra-ble, not k[)o]m-p[)a]r'a-ble.

=Complaisance=--k[)o]m'pla-zans, not k[)o]m-pl[=a]'z[)a]ns. In
complaisant and complaisantly, the accent is also on the first
syllable. Worcester places it on the third, thus: complaisant
(kom-pla-z[)a]nt'), etc.

=Comptroller=--kon-tr[=o]l'ler, not k[)o]mp-tr[=o]l'ler.

=Conduit=--k[)o]n'd[)i]t or k[)u]n'dit, not k[)o]n'du[)i]t or
k[)o]n'd[=u]te. A pipe or canal for the conveyance of fluid.

=Confab=, not _conflab_. A contraction of confabulation.

k[)o]n'je-r[=e]z. A collection of particles into one mass.

=Contemptuous=, not =contemptible=, when the manifestation of
contempt for another is meant. I once heard a young lady
describing how she had withered at a glance a poor young man
that had incurred her displeasure. "O, I gave him such a
_contemptible_ look," said she. If in the enthusiasm of the
rehearsal, the look that dwelt upon her features was akin to
that given upon the occasion mentioned, no auditor doubted the
exact truth of what she said; but she meant differently.

=Contiguous=--kon-tig'[=u]-[)u]s, not kon-t[)i]j'[=u]-[)u]s.

=Contour=--k[)o]n-t[=o][=o]r', not k[)o]n't[=o][=o]r. The
boundary lines of a figure.

=Contra-dance= is better than _country-dance_, the latter word
being a corruption; but it has become admissible from long use.
_Contredanse_ is the French original, and means that the
parties stand opposite to each other.

=Contrary=--k[)o]n'tra-ry, not kon-tr[=a]'ry, interfering with
the rhythm of the distich from Mother Goose's Melodies:

"Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?"

=Contumacy=--k[)o]n'tu-ma-sy, not kon-t[=u]'ma-sy. Obstinacy,
stubbornness.

=Contumely=--k[)o]n'tu-me-ly not k[)o]n-t[=u]'me-ly. Insolence,
contemptuousness.

=Conversant=--k[)o]n'ver-sant, not kon-v[)e]r's[)a]nt.
