4/5 Note

1. Onomatopoeia: individual sounds-tied-to-sense
2. The alphabet--Families of Sound:  two classes-- vowels and consonants
       a. Vowel:  forms a perfect sound when uttered alone. 
       b. Consonant:  It cannot be perfectly uttered till joined to a vowel. (Semivowels, mutes)
               I. A semivowel is a consonant that can be imperfectly sounded without a vowel so that at the end of a syllable its sound may be protracted.  Four of the semivowels--l, m, n, and r--are termed liquids, on account of the fluency of their sounds.  Four others--v, w, y, and z--are likewise more vocal than the aspirates
               II. A mute is a consonant that cannot be sounded at all withour a vowel, and which at the end of a syllable suddenly stops the breath, as k, p, t, in ak, ap, at. (b, d, k, p, q, t, and c and g)

3.  Poets select words for their sound as well as their meaning--and that good poets make a good initial selection.
