PREFACE

IT IS A COMPLAINT all too common among those
who are beginning the study of the biological
sciences that they can make little satisfactory
progress in the pronunciation of the numerous
scientific names and terms they must use. Their
path is made thorny by the fact that advanced
students and even many teachers of scientific
studies, to whom they look for guidance, mispro-
nounce, often atrociously, many of the terms. Per-
haps all, both students and teachers, would gladly
improve their pronunciation if they could find
ready at hand some small but adequate book of
reference.

In response to the demand of these multitudes,
I have prepared, with some misgivings and hesita-
tion, this handy pronouncing guide. It includes
not only a host of the most commonly used and
often mispronounced technical terms, but also
the better known generic names of plants and
animals and numerous Latin adjectives and ad-
jectival compounds used as specific or trivial
names. As a special aid to learning, with each
specific name is given its original Greek or Latin
- meaning or English equivalent.

Acceptable pronunciation of each word is indi-
cated, by its division into parts (not necessarily
syllables) by means of hyphens, by accent, and by
diacritical marks. The preferred pronunciation is,

Vv

vi PREFACE

in each case, indicated first; the less used but ac-
ceptable alternatives are placed afterwards.

It should ever be remembered that while there
are formal rules of pronunciation they have not
always been observed. Long usage has in certain
cases established other ways of sounding some let-
ters, especially vowels, and of placing accents. It
is also well to keep in mind that words, especially
derived ones, may be pronounced differently by
phonetic experts and by reputable biologists resid-
ing in different countries. The individual prefer-
ences are indeed many.

The scientific names of both plants and animals
are generally cast in Latin form even though they
may be compounded from Greek or other stems.
It has been agreed that they should, for the most
part, be pronounced in conformity to Latin rules
and practice. Accordingly I have given in the in-
troduction the more important rules governing the
syllabification and accentuation of Latin words.
A table showing the needed diacritical marks and
the sounds of the letters which they govern has
been located for ready reference inside both the
front and back covers of the book. To add interest
and to help the student in learning, a number of
illustrations have been placed throughout the text.
These call attention to often mispronounced words.

Those who use this Guide are urged to read
carefully the Introduction and to make an earnest
effort to master the brief but highly important
material found there. They may then proceed to

PREFACE vii

pronounce intelligently and with ease and accu-
racy, the names and terms they use.

Gardeners and horticulturists, specialists in ani-
mal husbandry, foresters, naturalists, and stu-
dents of the biological sciences will often need to
consult the Guide. Teachers, especially, will wel-
come this aid as they prepare to give their lectures
or conduct recitations. All will find it to be a most
profitable and interesting spare-time pleasure
(although at times embarrassing) to run through
the lists of familiar generic and specific names as
well as oft-used technical terms and underline the
great number of mispronunciations they have been
habitually making.

In preparing the long list of words (there are
more than 9000), a guide to whose pronunciation
is indicated, the author tried particularly to in-
clude only those most likely to cause difficulty.
Thus many commonly used terms and generic
names of obvious sound and accentuation have
been omitted. This has made it possible to keep the
book down to a size easy to handle, and to render
it valuable as a constant desk or brief-case com-
panion.

The author realizes that although he has spared
no effort to here present a thoroughly reliable
work, there still must be errors which have slipped
in. Constructive criticisms and corrections are ac-
cordingly invited for the purpose of helping to at-
tain to a more uniform and correct standard of
pronunciation in future editions of the HANDBOOK.

Viii PREFACE

I have been fortunate in securing the advice and
generous assistance of many able students of the
principles of phonetics, and to them I am deeply
indebted. A list of the more important and helpful
books consulted is appended.

INTRODUCTION

UNFORTUNATE AS IT Is, the “English method”’
of pronouncing Latin is used, both in this country
and in England, by most biologists, in the pro-
nunciation of biological names cast in Latin form.
According to this system the vowels are given their
customary English sounds as are the consonants,
except that ch is pronounced as k; c, g, and gg are
usually soft before e, i, y, and the diphthongs ae
and oe. The usual Latin rules of accentuation are
observed.

The use of the ‘‘English method”’ of pronuncia-
tion goes back to the period when this method was
used in the English Law Courts. Later it was
widely taught in English and American schools.
More recently it has been superseded by the ‘‘Con-
tinental method,’’ which is now used exclusively
in the secondary schools and colleges of the United
States and many parts of Europe.

Since there are those who may prefer to pro-
nounce words in accordance with the Continental
or Roman method the following explanation of
diacritical marks and sounds of consonants and
diphthongs will be useful:

CONCERNING THE SYLLABIFICATION
AND ACCENTUATION OF LATIN
WORDS OR OF GREEK WORDS

CAST IN LATIN FORM

1. A syllable consists of a vowel or diphthong* with or with-
out One or more consonants. Accordingly, a word has as

INTRODUCTION x1

many syllables as it has separate vowels or diphthongs.

2. In dividing a word into syllables, a single consonant is
joined to the vowel which follows it.

3. If two or more consonants occur between two vowels, as
many are joined to the following vowel as can be pro-
nounced with it.

4. In compounds, the parts are separated.

5. The last syllable of a word is called the ulltima. The next
to the last syllable of a word is called the penult. The sy-
lable preceding the penult is called the antepenult.

Words of two syllables have the accent on the
penult. Thus: Latin ¢#’-ba, trumpet and dn’-céps,
two headed, double.

Words of more than two syllables have the ac-
cent on the penult when that syllable 1s long: other-
wise the accent falls on the antepenult. Thus:
prae-di’-cé, to foretell but prae’-di-co, to declare.

In this pronouncing guide only the primary or
principal accent is indicated, since, usually, know-
ing this, it is rather easy to find the secondary ac-
cent. It is well to remember that the secondary ac-
cent, as a general rule, can never fall less than two
syllables before the primary one.

A syllable is long:

1. if its vowel is long. In this book the long vowels are
marked; unmarked vowels must be regarded as short.

* A diphthong (Gr. di, double; phthongos, voice) is a union
of two vowels pronounced as one. In ‘“‘proper’’ diphthongs,
which we have in such English words as ‘“‘joy,’’ “poise,’”’ and
“round,” the two vowels are blended; but in “improper”
diphthongs which appear in such words as ‘“‘people,”’ “‘each,”’
and “‘pain’’ only one of the vowels, generally the first, is

sounded.

2. if its vowel is followed by ‘‘x”’ or “‘z.”’

3. if its vowel is short but followed by two or more conso-
nants. Except a mute (p, b, t, d, c, k, g, q,) followed by
lorror by x orz.

4. if it contains a diphthong.*

5. final as, es, os are long.

A syllable not held to be long is short.

A final syllable ending in any consonant other
than ‘‘s’’ is short (-is, -us, and -ys are short). There
are few exceptions.

In pure Latin words a vowel is long:

1. if it is formed by the contraction of a diphthong.

2. if it occurs before ‘‘gm”’ (and often “‘gn’’), ‘‘nf,”’ and “‘ns.”’

3. if it occurs before ‘‘consonant i’ =y (with the sound of y

in yet).

4. usually if the ‘“‘o”’ and ‘“‘u”’ are final.

In pure Latin words a vowel is short:

1. if it occurs before another vowel or “‘h,”’ thus: vza, nthil.
An exception is found in some words transcribed from
Greek.

2. if it occurs before ‘‘nd’’ or
amant.

“ic

nt.”’ Thus: amandus and

COMPOUND WoRDS

Many generic and trivial (specific) names of ani-
mals and plants consist of fabricated compound

29 he

* The most common Latin diphthongs are ‘‘ae,’”’ “‘au,’’ and

“foe.” “feu’’ occurs in a few Latin words derived in part from
the Greek “‘eu,’’ meaning ‘‘well, good.” “‘-eus,”” a common
Latin adjectival ending, is pronounced ‘‘-é-us’’; 1.e., in two
syllables. The common Greek diphthongs ‘‘ae’’ (represented
by ae), ‘ev’ (transliterated ‘‘eu’’), and ‘‘o’’ (transliterated

“‘oe’’) are considered long in pronunciation.

INTRODUCTION xiii

words. If the words are compounded from Greek
words or word-stems, the parts are often joined by
the use of the vowel ‘‘o,’’ often, but not necessarily,
sounded as a shortened long ‘‘o”’ and marked ‘‘6.”’
Thus we have ornithopterts from the Greek stem
ornithos, a bird, joined by the use of ‘‘o’’ to the
word pteris, a wing. This connecting vowel ‘‘o”’ is
also used in constructing some Latin compounds
but the usual joining vowel in Latin compounds is
‘4.’ This we see in the trivial name alnzfolia from
the Latin stem alnus, the alder, and folizum, a leaf.

TRANSLITERATED WORD-ENDINGS

Greek words ending in -on (-ov) and -os (os),
when made over into Latin words, appear with the
endings -um and -us, while those ending in long
e (-n) usually have their Latin derivatives ending
in -a. Thus Greek petalon (aeradov) becomes the
Latin petalum, a leaf, and Greek cyamos (ktvayos)
becomes the Latin generic name Cyamus, a bean.

In the case’ of commemorative names ending in
-1a, -lana, or occasionally in -ella, given to honor
discoverers, eminent scholars, or patrons of science,
every effort should be made to preserve in their pro-
nunciation as near as possible the original sounds;
only thus can the names be readily associated with
the persons in whose memory they were originally
given. Certainly Dahlia, given to commemorate
the Swedish botanist Dahl, should be pronounced
Da’-li-a and not D3&’-li-a as is so commonly done,
and Camellia, given in honor of the botanical con-
tributions of George Joseph Kamel (Latinized

Xiv | INTRODUCTION

form = Camelli), the seventeenth century Moravian
traveller, should have the e pronounced short
(Cam-él’-li-a) and not long (Cam-él-‘li-a) as so
many careless persons are in the habit of doing.
Pronounced otherwise, the connection between the
man and the plant or animal is almost entirely
obliterated and one of the chief purposes of giving
the name is defeated.

Sometimes words have passed over into the
English language and in so doing have not only
had their accent shifted and the sounds of their
vowels changed, but they have also had the spell-
ing slightly altered. Examples of such words are
the Greek dném-0'-né (aveuwvn) which in English |
appears as the plant name aném-6-né, and the
Latin or-d’-tor becomes in English 6r’-d-tér. From
the Latin f6-li-us, leaf, we have the English words
fo'-li-dge and fé’-l1-6. Strange indeed, and rightly
so, it now would sound, to hear someone speak of
fo'-li-adge or of a fo’-li-6. The long o in foliage comes
to us through French.
