=Quoit=--kwoit, not kw[=a]te.

R.
=Rabies=--r[=a]'bi-[=e]z, not r[)a]b'[=e]z. Madness, as that of
dogs.

=Raise=--=Rise.= _Raise_ is a transitive verb, or one in which
the action passes over to an object. Present tense, _raise_;
imperfect tense and past participle, _raised_; present
participle, _raising_. _Rise_ is an intransitive verb, the
action not passing over to an object. Present tense, _rise_;
imperfect tense, _rose_; past participle, _risen_; present
participle, _rising_. Errors in the use of these words ought to
be avoided by remembering the following rules:
1. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that
passes over to an object, use _raise_, _raised_, and
_raising_.
2. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that
does not pass over to an object, use _rise_, _rose_,
_risen_, _rising_. To avoid further repetition in the method
I have adopted to impress upon the mind the difference
between transitive and intransitive verbs by contrasted
sentences, I would refer the reader to the remarks under
=Lay=. "I will _raise_ in the morning at five," should be,
"I will _rise_," etc. "I will _raise_ the _window_," etc.,

"I will _raise myself_ if I have the strength" is correct,
because an object, _myself_, is furnished. "The price of
flour is _raising_," should be, "The price of flour is
_rising_;" but it is right to say, "The merchants are
_raising_ the price of flour." "Gold has _raised_ in value,"
should be, "Gold has _risen_ in value." "The price of bonds
_raised_ in less than an hour," should be, "The price of
bonds _rose_," etc. "The sun is _raising_," should be, "The
sun is _rising_." "The sun is _raising_ the temperature," is
proper. The pulse has _risen_, but excitement has _raised_
it. The river has _risen_ in its bed and has _raised_ the
