Chiarenza Castri PRONUNCIATION OF SCRIPTURE PROPER NAMES. RULES OF PRONUNCIATION. 1. One of the principal differences between the pronunciation of the Hebrew proper names and that of the Greek and Latin relates to the sound of the letter g, which in Greek and Latin names is soft before e, i, and y, but in Hebrew names it is hard. 2. The digraph ch, in Hebrew names, is sounded hard, like k; as, Chebar, Enoch; but the words Rachel, Cherubim, also Cherub (an angel), are Anglicized in their pronunciation. 3. Every final i, forming a distinct syllable, though unaccented, is pronounced with its long Bound; as, A'i, Aris'a-ī. 4. The two vowels ia, when preceded by another vowel, are sometimes pronounced in one syllable, and sometimes in two. When pro nounced in one syllable, the i is sounded like g consonant; as, Benaiah (be-na'yah), Isaiah (i-sa'yah). When pronounced in two syllables, the accent is on the i; as, Ad-a-i'ah. 5. The diphthong ei is pronounced, according to Walker, like ee; as, Ceilan (sē'lan). When ei is followed by a vowel, the i is usually sounded like y consonant; as, Iphideiah (if-e-dē'yah), Sameius (sa-mē'yus). 6. Gentile names ending in ene, ine, and ite, with their plurals, being Anglicized, are pronounced like English formatives; as, Nazarene', Philistine, Gad'ites, Am'monite, Ish'maëlites; ex• cept Magdale'ne. Words of this class ending in ite have the accent on the same syllable as their primitives |
