Some Matters of Pronunciation.


Overheard on a news commenta-
ton: The viv-ASH-uss Evita Pc
ron" The adjective vivacious. live
ly, spirited, animated" was used
correctly, but the pronunciation Is
not good usage. In standard Amer
ican, the first syllable rhymes with
"by, my" The "a" in the second:
syllable is long. as in bay, day
Better say: vy-VAY-shuss..
Overheard on a murder mystery
program: "She is Madame Salinar
the noted OCK-ul- The word.
occultist, "one believed or profess,
ing to have occult powers was
used correctly. The pronunciation
is erroneous. Both occult and oc-
cultist are correctly accented on the!
second syllable, thus: uh-KULT;
(Some speakers say
ah-KULT and ah-KULT-ist. This
is permissible, but neither should
be accented on the first syllableD
The word 'incognito," with the
identity concealed always insists
on coming out of my radio receiv-4::
ing set as "in-kog- -NEE-tuh." The.
accent should fall on the second syl-.
liable, and the last syllable should
rhyme with hoe, woe," thus: in=
KOG-ni-toe.

mer's prolonged dry spell, heard

nounced in news broadcasts to.
rhyme with bout" south" and
bought" What's the good word,
Pancho?-R. P. M.
Answer: Both spellings. drought"
and "drouth," are correct. It's
matter of choice, although the SPELL
ing "drouth" seems to occur more
frequently in American usage.
There is no sanction for pronounc-,
ing either form to rhyme with
bought" The proper vowel sound
is "ou," as in "rout, south" Drought
is pronounced "drout" Drouth is
pronounced "drouth." The only diff
ference in the two words is that the
first ends with the sound Of st." the
second ends with the sound Of 9TH"
Coshocton: Is the second syllable
of "encylical." "a papal letter." pro-
nounced "sick" or "sike"?-M. D. B: ,
Answer: Encyclical may be pro-
either en-SIK-li-k1 or en-
SY-kli-k1. I prefer the latter.
