Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Beginners' Readers, Vol. 1
Consonant, we are told, means to sound with, to blend, to harmonize one sound with another, but it suits our pur pose to consider a consonant a separator. By quick change Of the vocal organs one vowel sound is stopped so the voice can be in readiness to produce another. Example: so fa. The 6, flowing freely from the mouth, is stopped by bringing the upper teeth to the lower lip in the formation Of consonant fa Then, by another change, the vowel a is made. The dividing line between '0' and d is f. Leave that out, and all the sound left is a meaningless mingle of the two vowels.
