Quharof = whereof, p. 16. Quhat = what, pp. 2, 8, 15, 17, 18, 28. Quhatever = whatever, p. 19. Quhen = when, pp. 2, 9, 11, 23, 31. Quhence = whence, pp. 29, 32. Quher = where, pp. 2, 14, 20, 32.

Skuiographie, probably an invented word, the intention of the author being to oppose skew or askew to +orthos+, straight. It has been suggested that it may be intended for sciagraphy, +skiagraphia+, also spelt sciography; but this is improbable, as the meaning of that word, viz., the art of shadows, including dialling, is so inappropriate in this passage, p. 2.

Supposit = subject, pp. 30, 31. Syllab = syllable, pp. 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22; syllabes, p. 8. Ben Jonson spells this word _syllabe_ in his English Grammar. Syne = since, p. 1.
