native words when pronounced by a foreigner, without presenting any interference
with the rendering of the characters of the word.

In the regular pronunciation of every word of more than one syllable a certain
raising or sinking of the voice (the accentuation) can be distinguished, besides the
duration of the sound (the quantity). The accentuation becomes apparent if the
syllables of the word are pronounced in a rapid succession, and disappears by a de-
composition of the word into its separate syllables.¹

The accent is originally also a musical modification, the acute indicating a raising
of the voice, the circumflex a ligation, the grave a sinking of the voice. The latter,
however, was only actually made to replace the acute in the respective phraseological
combination.²

In the pronunciation of modern languages the accent has generally become so
predominant that the influence of the quantity acoustically and even rythmically be-
comes extremely reduced, whilst each word has one or even more phonetic accents.³

Principal accent.

In each word of more than one syllable we have marked the principal phonetic
accent. In Hindostáni, as in German and English, it has a tendency to coincide with
the root of the word: it is rarely combined with the prefix. A connection between accent
and quantity was better marked in ancient languages than at present; in Greek a
long ultima, in Latin a long penultima interferes with the accentuation of the ante-
penultima. Vowels can become accentuated, whether long or short. In Hindostáni,
as in many other modern languages (particularly those of the Slavonic group), syllables
