erence between a Letter and its Name?_ The letter is the character, and the name is its appellation. 32. _What Letters name themselves?_ The vowels A, E, I, O, and U. 33. _How are the Letters divided?_ Into Vowels and Consonants. 34. _What are Vowels?_ Those letters which represent only pure tones. 35. _Name all the Vowels._ A, E, I, O, U, and in some situations W and Y. 36. _What is a Consonant?_ A letter that represents an interruption of sound or breath. 37. _Why called Consonants?_ Because they cannot be used alone in a word, but must be connected with a Vowel. 38. _How many kinds of Consonants are there?_ Two; single Letters and Combinations. 39. _Name the Consonant letters._ B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, and Z. 40. _Name the Consonant Combinations._ Th, Sh, Ch, Zh, Wh, and Ng. 41. _Name the two Orders of the Consonants._ Mutes and Semi-vowels. 42. _What are Mutes?_ Those letters which admit of no escape of breath while the organs of speech are in contact. 43. _Name the Mutes._ B, D, K, P, T, and C and G hard. 44. _What other term is often applied to the Mutes?_ Close Consonant. 45. _What are Semi-vowels?_ Those letters that admit of an escape of breath while the organs of speech are in contact. 46. _Name the Semi-vowels._ F, H, J, L, M, N, R, S, V, W, X, Y, Z, and C and G soft. 47. _Are the Combinations Mutes or Semi-vowels?_ They are all Semi-vowels. 48. _What letters are called Nasals?_ M, N, and Ng. 49. _What other term is often applied to the Semi-vowels?_ Loose Consonant. 50. _What letters are called Liquids?_ L, M, N, and R. 51. _Why are the Liquids so called?_ Because of their flowing sound, which readily unites with the sound of other letters. 52. _What are Sibilants?_ Letters which have a hissing sound; as, S and Z. 53. _What letter is called the Mute Sibilant?_ The letter X. 54. _What letters represent no sound of their own?_ C, Q, and X. 55. _What are these letters called?_ Redundant letters. 56. _Why are they so named?_ Because they are not necessary for the completion of the Alphabet. 57. _By what letters are the sounds of C represented?_ K and S. 58. _What letters represent the sound of Q?_ Kw. 59. _What letters represent the sound X?_ Ks.
