? FINAL N. 49
\H/ =a Respecting the quantity of final syllables in m, on
which Prosodians are not agreed -- it has been deemed
advisable to insert no rule : as the subject may be more
properly referred to the " Figures of Prosody;" farther on.
For the convenience, however, of teachers, who prefer
the rule in the order of the letters, it is given below. *
RULE xxxiv.
Final N.
N produc. -- Breviabis at -en quod -Inis breve format ;
Graecorum quartum, si sit brevis ultima recti ;
An, tamen, in cum compositis ; rectumque secundae.
Words, whether in Latin or of Greek origin, termi-
nating with n, have the final vowel generally long; as,
en, splen, quin, sin, Pan, Siren; with Actceon, Lacedce-
mdn, Platon, &c, [written with an u] ; also Greek accu-
satives in an and en, of the first declen. , from the nomi-
natives in as, es, and e long ; as, Mneun, Anchisen, Cal-
liopen ; genitives plural; as, Myrmidonbn, Cimmerion,
epigrammaton ; and Greek accusatives in on of the Attic
dialect having w in the original ; as, Athon, Androgebn.
Excep. 1. Nouns terminating with en, having inis in
the gen. , have the final vowel short; as, carmen, numen,
nomen, tegmen, flumen.
Excep. 2. The final vowel before n, is short in all
Greek accusatives of every declension, whose nomina-
tive has a short final syllable ; as, Maian, Scorpion.
* M vorat Ecthlipsis : prisci breviare solebant.
Final m, succeeded by a vowel [or the letter h. 1 is generally elided by Ecth-
TVpsis : the older poets usually shortened the preceding vowel, preserving the m
firera elision : ex. gr : --
Jnsignita,fere turn millia militum octo. Ennius.

of some excellent Prosodians, given as common, it must not he concealed, that
many others of equal authority, agree with Alvary, in regarding it as always
long.
