0C5" In different parts of this " Clavis," and in my
"Scanning Exercises for Young Prosodians,. "
I give EUander, EUenus, Sfc. with the first syl-
lable a diphthong, as in the original Greek;
which is the only way to render that syllable longs
since the Latin V, belonging to a subsequent
syllable, has not the power to lengthen a preceding
short vowel, as we see in Gravis, Levis, Nivis,
Novus, Jiivenis. -- See further remarks on this
subject in my " Latin Prosody," sect. 47.

0C5" In different parts of this " Clavis," and in my
"Scanning Exercises for Young Prosodians,. "
I give EUander, EUenus, Sfc. with the first syl-
lable a diphthong, as in the original Greek;
which is the only way to render that syllable longs
since the Latin V, belonging to a subsequent
syllable, has not the power to lengthen a preceding
short vowel, as we see in Gravis, Levis, Nivis,
Novus, Jiivenis. -- See further remarks on this
subject in my " Latin Prosody," sect. 47.

Professor, in his note, shows a disposition to be-
lieve that Virgil originally wrote malis tantte, it
may be well to observe the similarity of expression

cipation, to the same events which the poet here has
in view, viz.

Stellio et, in Georg. 4, 243, and Consilium et

be sounded as J or Y [jet, or yet] in order to ren-
