si'-tis, bi'-bi:
o: as in _holy_ Ro:'-ma, o:'-ris
o as in _wholly_, never as in
_hot_ mo'-do, bo'-no:s
u: as in _rude_, or as _oo_ in
_boot_ u:'-mor, tu:'-ber
u as in _full_, or as _oo_ in
_foot_ ut, tu:'-tus

NOTE. It is to be observed that there is a decided difference in sound,
except in the case of _a_, between the long and the short vowels. It is
not merely a matter of _quantity_ but also of _quality_.

[Footnote 2: Long vowels are marked ^, short ones ... ]

[Transcriber's Note:
In this version of the text, long vowels are shown as a:, e:, i: ...
and short vowels are unmarked, as described in the introductory
notes.]

_6._ In /diphthongs\ (two-vowel sounds) both vowels are heard in a
single syllable.

DIPHTHONGS LATIN EXAMPLES

/ae\ as _ai_ in _aisle_ tae'-dae
/au\ as _ou_ in _out_ gau'-det
/ei\ as _ei_ in _eight_ dein'-de
/eu\ as _e'[oo]_ (a short _e_
followed by a short _u_ in
one syllable) seu
/oe\ like _oi_ in _toil_ foe'-dus
/ui\ like _[oo]'i_ (a short _u_
followed by a short _i_ in one
syllable. Cf. English _we_) cui, huic

NOTE. Give all the vowels and diphthongs their proper sounds and do not
slur over them in unaccented syllables, as is done in English.

_7._ Consonants are pronounced as in English, except that

never as in _cent_ ca'-do:, ci'-bus, ce:'-na
