But as several words often
signify the same thing (and are called synonyms), some of those
words will be more becoming, or sublime, or elegant, or pleas-

the better sounding letters are clearer, so words formed of such
syllables are more melodious; and the fuller the sound of a word,
the more
agreeable
it is to the ear; and what the junction of
syllables effects, the junction of words effects also, proving that
some words sound better in combination than others.
