This word, like all of the same origin
and form, as bubonocele, enterocele, broncho-
cele, spermatocele, sarcocele, &c. ought to
be pronounced with the final e forming a
syllable; for as they are perfectly Greek
words, as gonnλn, or formed from the
Greek, as Enterocele from EVTEgo and
xnλn, they ought to be pronounced like
apostrophe, hyperbole, &c. The reason why
Diastyle and Osteocope are not pronounced
so as to make the final e form a distinct syl-
lable, is, that they are not perfectly Greek
words, but formed from dia and σrvλos,
and οστεο and κοπτω, where we find the
Greek termination alte ed.

In these compounds of Hymen, Mr. Sheridan has shortened the i in the first syllable; but though I think this tendency of the secondary accent to shorten the vowel perfectly agreeable to analogy, yet y has so frequently the sound of longi that it seems, in this case and some others, to counteract that tendency, nor can any other reason be given why the same letter

Mr. Nares, who is an excellent judge
both of analogy and usage, says, the accen-
tuation of this word upon the last syllable
is adopted by Dr. Johnson; but it is cer-
tainly now obsolete. I am reluctantly of
a different opinion, and think Dryden's
accentuation the best:
