PREFACE.
The present work is founded upon that of Velazquez, which has for so many
years served as a standard, and has formed the basis of the only Spanish and
English dictionary of any pretensions issued since the year 1853. The purpose of
the present editor has been to recast, to modify, and especially to modernize the
material found in the treatise of Velazquez. In carrying out this plan eight
thousand new titles have been added in Part I. alone, and in addition several
hundred idioms, in which the Castilian is so peculiarly rich. Some of these will
be found under the verbs Dar, Echar, and Tomar, for example. The need of
explication of these idioms is evidenced by the full treatment of them in the twelfth
edition of the Dictionary of the Spanish Academy, and by the publication in
Boston of a special volume upon "Spanish Idioms." In adding new entries it
has been sought to make them practical; the vocabulary of commercial and of
needful scientific terms has therefore been increased. Proper names are recorded
in the Appendix; the adjectives derived from them will be found in the body
of the text. To gain room for the new entries a portion of the obsolete matter
has been dropped ; in particular many augmentatives, and regular diminutives in
-ITO, -ICO, -ILLG, -ciLLO, and -ZUELO have not been specifically recorded, unless
perchance they possessed a special meaning. The bulk of the Spanish-English part
remains, however, nearly the same by reason of the change in typography, whereby
the page is enlarged and the title-words occupy less room.
For the first time in such a work CH has been separated from C, and the
Castilian alphabet exactly followed. For the first time, also, the syllabication of
Spanish words has been given according to the rules of that language, and not the
caprice of the editor. The pronunciation has thus acquired greater exactitude and
harmony. Equivalents for pronunciation have been of great moment in Part II.
(English-Spanish), and the signs for these have been thoroughly revised and
adapted to the nomenclature adopted by the American and the British Philological
Associations. Part II,, indeed, was so antiquated as to require re-writing, and the
reader is referred to the special preface for it.
The curious reader is referred to the words Canal, Coco, Pez, Por, Punto,
and the verbs Tomar and Poner, as illustrative examples of the character of the
present revision. Let the instructor compare any three successive pages of the
present treatise with the same pages in any other like dictionary, and the scope
and style of the revision will be clear. To select one region only, a good deal of
new matter may be found in the letter M,
vi PREFACE.
The editor has not hesitated to write many letters of inquiry as to the special
value and acceptation of Spanish words, and to consult personally also native
Spaniards and Spanish-Americans. It has been his aim to secure accuracy at what-
ever cost. But it has been found impracticable to change all the Linnaean names
of plants and animals to the most modern equivalents. The men of science will
pardon this shortcoming in a popular treatise. The botanical and zoological terms
have frequently given much trouble to interpret aright.
The editor wishes to acknowledge indebtedness to his friend, E. L. Williams,
of Santa Cruz, Cal. ; to Dr. E. Calderon, of San Francisco ; to Prof. Carlos Bransby,
of Los Angeles; to the publishers for their pains in securing a page pleasurable to
the. eye ; to the Library of the University of California ; and, above all, to his cor-
respondent, Juan L. Iribas, of Hartford, Conn., for suggestions and the heavy labour
of proof-reading.
Lastly, the editor makes his own the concluding paragraph of the preface
written by Velazquez. It will be highly gratifying if his efforts shall in any way
contribute to a mutual good understanding between the peoples who speak the two
languages most widely spread over the earth.
Edward Gray.

EXTRACT FROM THE ORIGINAL PREFACE.
So FAR from wishing to detract in the least from the works of his predecessors,
the editor is willing frankly to confess, that without their labours he should never,
perhaps, have undertaken the task of the present publication; and he considers it
but just to say to them, in the words of the Spanish fabulist, Iriarte —
" Gracias al que nos trajo las gallinas." — Fab. xii.
There are undoubtedly faults in the Spanish and English dictionaries that have
preceded the present work, but it is also true that they embody many excellencies:
the compiler has endeavoured to avail himself of the latter, while at the same time
he has carefully corrected the former.
A dictionary of two languages cannot be perfect unless it contain an exact and
rigorous translation of the words, unencumbered by useless definitions. The most
common idioms and phrases that are current in good society should also be incor-
porated, and even some of those which may be properly classed as vulgar, when
they serve to elucidate the peculiar customs and usages of a country. To these
should be added the corresponding signification of words in the mercantile vocab-
ulary, as well as of the terms in most frequent use in the arts and sciences.
These latter classes of words are extremely various, particularly in those new
republics of America which were formerly Spanish possessions. Many words are
there in use which are not known in the Peninsula. For example : the Turkey,
which in Spain is known as el pavo or pavito, in Mexico is called el gtiajolofe, in
Cuba el guanajo — a word which is also there used figuratively, in allusion to the
qualities of this fowl, to denote a stupid or half-witted person — and in some parts
of South America it is termed el chumpipe or chinquique. The Sweet Potato is
called in Spain la patata dulce ; in Mexico, el camote ; in Cuba, el boniato^ hnniato^
or moniato. A Twin, in Europe, is gemelo or mellizo ; but in Cuba it is jimagua ;
in some parts of South America, morrocJio ; and in Mexico, familiarly, ciiate. In
allusion to this latter term it is often said, Eso no tiene cuate, instead of Eso no
tiene igual.
In preparing the present work, besides the dictionaries of Baretti, Neuman,
Connelly, and particularly that of Dr. Don Mateo Seoane, the editor has con-
sulted the last edition of the Diccionario de la Academia Eftpanola, as Avell as the
dictionaries of Salva and Terreros; the treatise on Etimologias CasteUanas by
Cabrera, and on Las Voces Cuhanas by Pichardo. In the English part he has
taken for his guides the well-known dictionaries of Webster and Worcester, and
in some cases the treatise on Americanisms by Bartlett. " La Guia Mercantil
de Madrid'''' has supplied him with the names of many articles of commerce, to
which he has added a long catalogue, obtained by careful examination of the
" Price-currents " of Cadiz, Vera Cruz, Havana, and New Orleans, besides an excel-
lent collection generously furnished, him by his esteemed friend, Alexander I.
QoTg^iAL, Esq., a merchant of this city, well known for his extensive erudition,
vu

particularly in languages. He ought also to make mention of Mr. John L.
Jewett, who, besides correcting many of the articles, and furnishing various addi-
tions, has carefully revised the whole work. ^
The last revised and enlarged edition of the dictionary of Don Mateo Seoane
has been made the basis of the present work. For the orthography and prosody of
Seoane, however, which are now almost entirely disused, the editor has substituted
the new and improved orthography and prosody of the last edition of the
Dictionary of the Academy. He has also added to Seoane's work more than
EIGHT thousand articles, including words, idioms, and proverbs. Many of the
definitions of Seoane he could not do less than retrench, especially in cases like
the following: Beber, To drink, to swallow any liquid. He certainly could not
imagine that any person speaking the English language, and wishing to consult a
Spanish and English dictionary, could need a definition in his own language of the
simple verb to drink. He has also corrected many of Seoane's definitions, as in
the following examples : Frock-coat, Especie de casaca muy ajustada al cuerpOy
instead of Levita. Cross-legged, Bl que tiene las piernas cruzadas, instead of
Patizambo. Keg, Barrica, especie de totiel, instead of cunete or harrilito. There
are also a great number of verbs, adjectives, and substantives in Seoane's work,
which, instead of being accurately rendered by equivalents, are obscurely and often
erroneously defined by periphrasis. The following examples must suffice : To
Imprecate, Maldecir, instead of Imprecar. Henpecked, El que estd gohernado
por su mujer, instead of Gurrumino. Inserviceable, Lo que no sirve para nada^
instead of Itiservible, etc., etc.
The editor does not flatter himself that his own work is perfect; but, at the
same time, he feels at liberty to assert, that in many important respects it is
greatly superior to its predecessors. It contains, in both languages, the exact
equivalents and correspondents of the words in general use, both in their literal
and metaphorical acceptations. The technical terms most frequently used in the
arts, and in chemistry, botany, medicine, and natural history, as well as nautical
and mercantile terms and phrases — the greater part of which, as may be seen by
comparison, are not contained in other dictionaries — have been carefully selected
and arranged in the present work. It also contains many Spanish words used only
in those countries of America which were formerly dependencies of Spain. The
irregularities of the verbs, in Spanish and English, are here, for the first time, given
in full in their alphabetical order; and, in addition to this, the work also contains
a grammatical synopsis of both languages, arranged for ready and convenient
reference.
The pronunciation of the Castilian language is so clearly set forth in this
dictionary as to render it well-nigh impossible for any person who can read
English readily to fail of obtaining the true sounds of the Spanish words at sight.
As the editor has been guided in his labours, for the most part, by his own
limited attainments, he has reason to fear, in a work composed of so great a variety
of articles upon so extensive a diversity of matters, that he has not always suc-
ceeded in avoiding errors. Should such be found, he has no desire that they
should be concealed, but will feel thankful rather to all who may assist him to
correct them, for the benefit of the public, whose true interests, and no other
motive, have compelled him to undertake his laborious and unappreciated task.
Quid est suavius quam bene rem gerere bono publico f — Plaut.

*A SYNOPSIS OF THE
SPANISH OR CASTILIAN LANGUAGE
The Parts of Speech are : the Article, the Noun
(mihstantive and adjective), the Pronoun, the Verb, the
Participle, the Adverb, the Preposition, the Conjunction,
and the Interjection.
The Definite Article.
Masculine, sing. The, El : pi. The, Los.
Feminine, " " La: " " Las.
When the article el comes after de (of or from), or «
(to), the e is suppressed and they are thus written ; of
the, del, to the, al, instead of de el, a el. No apostrophe (' )
is used in Spanish.
1. Agua, water ; dguila, eagle ; alma, soul ; hacha,
hatchet; hambre, hunger, etc., though feminine, take
the masculine article; but only in the singular, and
when they are immediately preceded by it. This is
merely to avoid the concurrence of two a's broadly pro-
nounced and by no means changes the gender.
2. Common nouns taken in a general sense in Eng-
lish require the definite article in Spanish : as, Man is
mortal, El hombre esmort.nl. Charity is the first of vir-
tues. La caridad es la primera de lasvirtndes. But when
the sense is indeterminate, they do not admit it : as,
Give him bread. Dale pan.
3. Before nouns of measure, weight, or number, the
English indefinite article is rendered into Spanish by
the definite, and frequently omitted : as, He paid six
dollars a barrel. El pago a cinco pesos el harril, or cinco
pesos bnrril.
4. The English definite and indefinite articles be-
fore ordinal numbers preceded by proper names, nouns
in apposition, national nouns, as well as those signify-
ing dignity, profession, trade, etc., of persons, and in
exclamations, are omitted in Spanish : as. Charles the
Fifth. Carlos Qninto ; Madrid the capittil of Spain,
3Ia,drid capital de Espaiia ; He is an American, El es
americnno ; She is a milliner, Ella es modista ; What a
pity ! / Que Idstima !
The Indefinite Article.
Masculine, sing. A or an, Un. Feminine, sing. A
or an, Una. The plural nnos (masculine) and unas
(feminine) are translated into English by the pronoun
some : as, a man, nn hombre ; some men, nnos homhres.
5. The English indefinite article coming between an
adjective or a pronoun and a noun, generally is not
translated ; but when it is emphatical it is placed be-
fore the adjective : as. So beautiful a woman. Tan
hermosa mnjer, or f/jw mujertan hermosa. Such a man,
Tal hombre, or Un tal hombre.
THE NOUN.
Spanish Nouns have Gender, Number, and Case-
Gender.
It is masculine or feminine. Every he, or male ani-
mal, is of the masculine gender ; every she or female
is of the feminine.
6. The names of inanimate objects, or of things end-
ing in a, ad, ion (bre, when it signifies quality), are for
the most part feminine ; and tliose terminating in e,i,
o, or H, are generally masculine.
7. Common nouns ending in o. change o into a to
form the feminine; as, .son, hijo. daughter, hija. Those
l-erminating in an, on, or or, add a for the feminine ;
as, a man loiterer, un holgazdn : a woman loiterer, una
holgazana ; patron, patron ; patroness, patrona ; shep-
herd, pastor ; sheplierdcss, pnstora.
8. There are some nouns that express the difference
of gender by a different word or termination ; as, father,
padre ; mother, madre ; poet, poeta ; poetess, poctisa.
Number.
Singular and Plural.
9. Nouns ending in a short, or unaccented vowel,
form the plural by adding s to the singular ; as, boy,
muchacho ; boys, muchachos.
10. Nouns terminating in a long, or accented vowel,
or in any consonant, or in y, add es to form the plural ;
as, ruby, ruhi ; rubies, rubies : captain, capitdn ; cap-
tains, capitanes ; ox, buey ; oxen, bucyes. Nouns ter-
minating in s, change it into c, and add es ; as judge,
jues ; judges, jtieces. Papa, mama, cafe, etc., are excep-
tions.
Case.
11. The Nominative case expresses the subject of the
verb ; as. The man gives. El hombre da.
12. The Objective case direct points out the imme-
diate object of the action of the verb ; as. The man
gives iilms, El hombre da limo.ina.
13. The Objective case indirect, or complement, indi-
cates the term, or end of the action expressed by the
verb ; as. The man gives alms to the poor. El hombre da
limosnn a los pobres ( = Latin dative).
14. When the object direct of an active transitive
verb is a person, a proper or personified noun, it must
be preceded by the preposition a; as, A man must love
man, El hombre debe amar al hombre : Isabella cimciuered
Granada, Isabel conquisto a Granada ; The miser loves
no other God but his money. El avaro no ama otro Dios
que i, su dinero.
Augmentative and Diminutive Nouns.
15. Augmentative nouns are those that increase the
extent of their signification by adding on, ote, or azo to
the masculine nouns, and onn, ota, or asa to the femi-
nine, suppressing their final letter, should it be a, e, or
o; as (a boy\ "un muchacho," "un muchnchon" (a big
boy); "una muchacha" (a girl), " una muchachona " (a
big girl).
16. The termination aso frequently signifies the
blow or injury caused by the object to which it is
added ; as. Idtigo ( whip\ un latigazo (a very large whip ;
a stroke with a whip).
17. Diminutire nouns are formed by adding »7o, f7?o,
ico, or tielo for the masculine, and ita. ilia, ica. or uela
for the feminine, suppressing the final letter if it be a,
0, or e : as, "un muchacho" (a boy), un muchnchito,
muchachillo. or muchachuelo ia little boy); " una mucha-
cha" (a girl), una muchachita, muchachilla, or mucha-
chuela (a little girl).
18. The terminations t^o, ita, etc., added to Christian
names, or those that express relationship, indicate love,
affection, and regard towards the object; thus, " herma-
»ij<a" (dear sister) ; "Juanito" (esteemed John), etc.
THE ADJECTIVE.
19. In Spanish the Adjective must agree with its
noun, iu Gender and Number; as, "un hombre rico" (a
A SYNOPSIS OP THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
rich man), " una mujer rica " (a rich woman) ; " hombrcs
ricos" (rich men), " mujeres ricas " (ric/i women).
Gender of Adjectives.
20. Adjectives ending in o are masculine, and change
it into a to form the feminine; as, rico, rica (rich).
Adjectives ending in on or aji add a for the feminine ;
as, griton, gritona (clamorous) ; haragan, haragana (idle).
Those ending in any other letter are common to both
genders; as, "un hombre prudente" (a prudent man),
" una mujer prudente " (a prudent woman).
Exception.— A.Aiect\\QS ending in a consonant, and
derived from the names of countries, add a to form their
feminine; as, Espanol, EspaTwla (Spanish); Ingles, In-
glesa (English); Andaluz, Andaluza (Andalusiau).
Number.
21. Adjectives form their plural according to the
rules set forth for nouns; as, bianco, blancos (white);
turqui, turquies (deep blue) ; natural, naturales (natural) ;
feliz, felices (happy).
Degrees of Signification.
Adjectives have three degrees of signification, the
positive, the comparative, and the superlative.
Comparatives.
Comparatives may be considered under the three
divisions of the comparative of equality, the comparative
of superiority, and the comparative of inferiority.
The comparative of equality with adjectives is formed
with tan . . . como (as, so ... as) : as, "El es tan rico
como ella " (He is «s rich as she) ; " Ella no es tan her-
mosa como su hermana " (She is not so handsome as her
sister).
The comparative of equality with nouns is formed with
tanto, tanta . . . como (as much, so much . . . as) ;
tantos, tantas . . . como (as many, so many ... as) : as,
"Ella tiene tanto dinero como 61" (She has as much
money as he) ; " El tiene tantas casas como su hermano"
(He has as many houses as his brother).
In the comparative of equality with verbs, cuanto is
sometimes substituted for como: as, Tanto leo cuanto
escribo" (I read as much as I write).
The comparative of superiority with adjectives is
formed with mas . . . que {more, or the termination
er . . . </iari) ; as, "El es ?H as rico g Me ella" (He is ric/ie*-
than she) ; "El honor es mas precioso que las riquezas"
(Honour is more precious than riches).
Before nouns of number, more than is rendered by
masde; as, " Ellos gastaron mas de quinientos pesos"
(They spent more than five hundred dollars). But if the
phrase be negative, mas que is used ; as, " No tengo mas
que dos libras" (I have no more than two pounds).
The more . . . the more, with an intervening verb,
is rendered by cuanto mas . . . mas, or cuanto mas . . .
tanto mas ; as, " Cuanto mas estudia, tanto mas aprende "
{The more he studies, the more he learns).
The comparative of inferiority is formed with mejios
. . . que (less . . . than); as, "La plata es mmos ii til
que el hierro" (Silver is less useful than iron).
Before nouns of number, less than is translated by
menos de ; as, ' ' Necesito menos de tres reales " ( I need
less than three shillings).
The less . . . the less, with an intervening verb, is
rendered byotanto menos .' . . tanto menos ; as, " Cuanto
menos trabaja, tanto menos gana ' ' ( The less he works, the
less he gains).
Superlatives.
English superlatives ending in e.'it, or formed by most,
are rendered by prefixing the definite article to the
Spanish comparative ; as, " El mils sabio" (the wisest) ;
" la ni,ls ingrata" (the most ungrateful).
Superlatives in English with very are formed in
Spanish by pn^fixing muy to the adjective, or by afiixing
to it the termination isimo ; as, ''Muy hi'thil or hahili-
simo" {very skilful); ''muy fdcil or facilisimo" {very
easy).
Irregular Cotnparatives and SuperlaHve/s.

Passive Verbs.
Passive verbs are formed from active transitive verbs
by adding their participle past to the auxiliary verb ser
(to be\ through all its changes, as in English ; thus,
from the active verb ainar (to love), is formed the pas-
sive verb ser amado (to be loved).
The participle must agree in gender and number
with the nominative it refers to ; thus, He is loved tcl
es amado) ; she is loved {ella es amada) ; they are loved
{ellos son amados).
Pronominal or Reflexive Verbs.
A pronominal or reflexive verb is conjugated by pre-
fixing the pronouns me. te, se, V. se ; nos, os. se, VV. se
to the verb according to its person and number ; as, he
arms himself, el se arma.
In the infinitive and imperative modes the pronouns
are placed after the verb, and in one word with it ; the
pronoun, therefore, must be suppressed, in order to find
xu
A SYNOPSIS OF TRE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
out the conjugation : thus, To approach, acercarse, (se)
acercar, first conjugation.
Eemarks on the Use of the Subjunctive Mode.
Three are the terminations of the imperfect tense
subjunctive mode ; ra, ria, se. — The termination rn, or
se, is used when the verb is governed by a conditional
conjunction, and the verb that completes the sense of
the phrase is placed in the termination ria ,• If he had
money, he would buy the house, Hi el tuviera dinero,
compraria la casa : — If the verb begins without a con-
ditional conjunction, the termination ra or ria may be
used, placing the verb that completes the sense in the
termination se ; as. It would be proper that you should
write to him, Fnera or seria biieno que V. le escribiese.
Verbs signifying command, wish, supplication, etc.,
being in the present indicative, require the governed
verb in the present subjunctive ; and if they he in any
of the past tenses of the indicative, the governed verb
must be in the termination ra or se, of the subjunctive.
The Gerund.
The gerund is that part of the verli that terminates
in ando in verbs of the first conjugation, and in iendo
in those of the second and third ; hh publicando (pub-
lishing), from jrnbiicar ; promctiendo (promising), from
prompter; asistiendo (assisting*, from asistir. It admits
no change for gender or number.
It is translated by the English present participle,
and conjugated with the verb estar (to be) ; as, Ana-
Btasia is reading, and Maiy Ann is playing on the
piano {Anastasia estd leyendo, y Maria Ana estd, tocando
el piano).
PARTICIPLE.
The passive or past participle terminates in ado in
the first conjugation, and in ido in the second and
third. It changes its termination according to the
number and gender of the person it refers to ; except
when it follows immediately after the verb haber, in
which case it does not admit of any change.
All passive participles that do not terminate in ado
or ido are called irregular ; such are the following from
the verbs :
the last only ; as, He speaks elegantly and correctly
{el habla correcta y elegantemente).
PEEPOSITIONS.
The most frequent are :
To die, morir, muerto.
To resolve, resolver, resuel-
to.
To eec, ver, visto.
To put, poner, puesto.
To turn, volver, vuelto.
To open, abrir, abierto.
To cover, cubrir, cubierto.
To say, decir, dicho.
To write, escribir, escrito.
To fry, freir, frito.
To do, hacer, hecho.
To print, imprimir, impreso.
Their compounds have the same irregularity.
VERBS THAT HAVE TWO PARTICIPLES.
There are some verbs that have two passive parti-
ciples, the one regular and the other irregular. They
are eighty-three in number. Such are : To bless, ben-
der.ir, bendccido, bendito; to compel, compeler, compelido,
compnlso ; to convert, conrertir, cctnvertido, converso ;
to awake, despertar, despertado, despierto ; to elect,
eleqir, elegido, electo ; to express, expresar, expresiido,
expreso ; to fix, fi{inr, fijado, fijo : to satiate, hartar,
hartado, hnrto ,• to include, incluir, incluido, incluso ;
to join, JHjiYrtr, juntado-.f^H/o ,• to arrest, prender, pren-
(lido, preso ; to provide, proveer, proveido, provisto ;
to break, romper, ronipido, roio ; to loosen, soltar, solta-
do, suelto ; to suspend, susjiender, suspendido, sus2)enso,
etc.
The regidar participles of these verbs are used to
form the C(mipound tenses with habrr ; as, He has
awaked early lei ha despertado iempravo).
Tlie irregular participles are used as verbal adjec-
tives, and with the verbs ser, etc., and do not form
compound tenses with haber; excepting preso, prcs-
crito, proristo, roio, injerto, proscrito, and sapreso, which
have both uses ; as. He is early awaked (e^ estd des-
pierto temprano); They have provided {ellos han pro-
visto or proveido).
ADVERBS.
Adverbs are formed from adjectives of one termina-
tion by tlie addition of mente ; as, dnlce, ([n\i:.v,me.nte ;
and from those of two terminations, l).v adding mente
to the feminine; as, gracAoso, graciosrt»K'«^\ Tlie.y
admit the superlative ; as, (iraciosisimamente.

THE IRREGULAR VERBS.
Irregular verbs are such as suffer some change either
in their radical letters or in the terminations of the con-
jugations to wbieh they belong, or in l)oth these cases.
The total number of such verbs in the Spanish language
is about eight Iniiidred and seventy-six. Of these, how-
ever, four liundred and sixty-one are compound forms.
But this appareiitiy very long list may be reduced to
six classes, as follows :
I. To the first class belong certain verbs like aoer-
tar, ascender, sentir, whicli liave the vowel e in the
penultimate syllable of the infinitive, and change this
e when it bears the tonic accent, or is in the singular or
the third person plural of the present tense (indicative,
subjunctive, imperative), into ie. As a general rule, and
with very rare e.\ceptions, if in the kindred noun there
is the dipiitliong ie, the verb is irregular of tiiis class.
Verbs of tlie tiiinl conjugation l)elonging to this class
have the further peculiarity that the vowel e of the
stem subsides into i when unaccented and followed by
a strong termination (that is, containing a. strong vowel,
viz., a or o), and in tlie preterite (or aorist) sy.stem
before a diplithong. To this cla.ss belong also the verbi)
adquirir, oonoernir (defective), and disQerQX^.
A SYNOPSIS OF THE SPANISH LANGUAGE.
Xlll
II. To the second class belong certiiin verbs like
aoordar, mover, and dormir, which have the vowel o
in the penultiniak^ syllable of the infinitive, and change
this 0 into ue when its bears the tonic accent or is in the
singular and the third person plural of the present
tense (indicative, subjunctive, and imperative). If the
kindred noun has the diphthong ue, the verb generally
belongs to this class. Dormir •ax\A morir (3d cijnj.) have
ue in the same positions where sentir (class I) hast.
The gerund in this class belongs uniformly to the aorist
(or preterite) system.
III. To the third class belong verbs of the second
and third conjugations ending in cer or cir preceded
by a vowel, the irregularity consisting in their tiiking a
z before the C when the terminations begin with n or o.
This occurs in the first person singular of the present
indicative, in all persons of the present subjunctive,
and in those of the imperative which are formed from
the subjunctive. About two hundred and eight verbs
belong to this class, the forms in eoer being very
numerous.
IV. This class is composed wholly of verbs of the
third conjugation with the stem vow^ (like pedir),
and change this e for i in the gerund, in die third per-
son (singular and plural) of tlie present indicative, the
whole of the present subjunctive, and the imperative
formed tlierefrom ; the third persons of the past
definite, and all those of the imperfect and future sub-
junctive.
Note. — The verbs which end in eir and Sir, like
reir, oenir, lose the i of their endings when it is not
accented (gerund, third person past definite, and im-
perfect and future subjunctive), and thus is avoided
the double sound of i which results ; thus :
(i)endo.
Ei — , — , (i)6, — , — , (i)eron.
• (i)era, eras, etc.
Cin (i)ese, eses, etc.
[ (i)ere, eres, etc. ,
V. To this class belong those verbs ending in uir in
which both vowels are sownded, like arguir (excluding
therefore those in guir, quir). Their irregularity con-
sists in adding y to the stem when this is accented or
followed by a strong vowel.
The preterite (aorist) stem is regular, but the initial
i of the diphthongal terminations ie, to, is changed to y,
since it comes between two vowels. The gerund in this
class belongs always to the aorist system.
VI. To this class are assigned all the remaining
irregular verbs, among which there is, howe%'er, no
common principle of classification. A portion of these
have aorist (preterite) systems resembling more or less
closely the Latin, while the remainder are irregular in
the strictest sense. These verbs are therefore given
individually.

A LIST OF ALL THE IRREGULAR VERBS.
06s. 1. The compound verbs are not inserted, when
they have the same irregularity as the simple ones
from which they are derived : as, componer, contrapo-
ner, etc., which are conjugated like po»ter.
For the convenience of the learner the strictness of
this principle has been departed from in the two cases
following : 1st. When the simple is no longer used by
itself. To this list belong these nine : cluir (CI. V;,
cordar (CI. I), ducir (CI. IIIj, manecer (CI. Ill), stituir
(CI. V), tribuir (CI. V), vertir (CI. I), blandecer, bravecer
(CI. III). 2d. Some compounds of ad (reduced to a)
have been included, such as asonar, atender, and asentir.
On the other hand, compounds from nominal roots,
as enflaquecer, ftorecer, have been inserted.
Obs. 2. The most general irregularities of the Span-
ish verbs consist in their taking i,j,y, or ue, or i, in-
stead of o, or e. To find the infinitive mode of such
verbs, separate the regular termination, and omit the
letter or letters that do not belong to the radicals of
such verbs : as in comienzo, muestras, sintio, condujeron,
trajeran, construyesen, the terminations are o, as, id,
eron, eran, esen. The remaining letters are, comienz,
muesir, sint, conduj, traj, construy. Add to these the
regular terminations of the infinitive mode, and they
will read comienzar, muestrar, sintir, condujir, trujer,
construyir. Take off the i, j, and y, change ne into o,
and the i into e ; add a c before the termination to
those in ij or uj ; and they will be comenzar, mostrar,
sentir, condueir, truer, construir.
Obs. 3. The irregular participles are set in italics
after their verbs.
_^S" The verbs of the first column are conjugated
like those of the second, which must be consulted in
their respective places.

NUEVO DICCIONARIO DE LAS
LENGUAS ESPANOLA E INGLESA.
ESPANOL t INGLfiS— SPANISH AND ENGLISH.
ABA
ABA
k [ah], first letter of the alphabet in
the Spanish language, has but one
sound, and is pronounced as the open
English a in alarm.
A, prep, which signifies to, in, at, ac-
cording to, on, by, for, and of; as Voy
A Madrid, I am going to Madrid. A
la inglesa, In the English fashion.
A oriente, In the east. Jugar d los
naipes. To play at cards. A las ocho,

For how much a bushel ? for thirty
reals. Este vaso huele a vino. This

Piece of eight. V. Keal. — A coales-
ces with the masculine article el,
and instead of d el, as anciently used,
al is now written, as Al rey. To the
king. Al papa. To the pope. This
masculine article is also used before
the infinitive mood of verbs taken
substantively, as Al amanecer. At the
break of day. Al ir yo alia, When I
was going there. — A is equivalent to
the limit or end of any place or time.
A la cosecha pagare, I shall pay at
harvest-time. Desde aqui & San Juan,
From this to St. John's day. Me lle-
gaba el agua d la garganta. The water
was up to my throat. — A sometimes
signifies the rnotive or principle, as A
instancia de la ciudad, At the request
of the city, i A quS proposito ? To
what purpose ? — It also serves to ex-
press distributive numbers, as A per-
diz por barba, A partridge a head. —
Before the infinitive mood, and at the
beginning of a sentence, it has some-
times a conditional sense, as A decir
verdad, If we must speak the truth. —
This preposition governs almost all
parts of speech, whether substantives,
adjectives, pronouns, or verbs : A los
hombres. To men. De bueno d malo.
From good to bad. Ami,dti,dvoso-
tros. To me, to thee, to you. A jugar,
To play. Vamos d pasear, Let us take
a walk. — It points out the person in
whom the action of the verb termi
nates, and then is placed before the
accusative or objective case, as Amo d
Pedro, I love Peter. — A is still used
in some phrases instead of por, en, sin,
para, and la ; and in obsolete writings
for con and de. — In composition it
serves to convert substantives and
adjectives into verbs, as abocar from
boca, ablandar from blando. Former-
ly it was prefixed to many words, as
abajar, amatar, etc.; but being re-
dundant, these words are now written
bajar, matar, etc. — A is frequently
used adverbially, as A deshora. Un-
seasonably. A diferencia de esto.

eso. In consequence of that. A la

Sometimes. A ojos vistas. Plainly,

didas, Privately, in a secret manner.

D.
D [day] is the fifth letter of the Span-
ish alphabet, and the fourth of the
consonants. D has the same un-
varied sound it has in English in the
words dedicate, fed. In pronouncing
this letter the t()ngue must not touch
the palate at all, and but barely come
in contact with the teeth. In some
provinces of Spain it is wrongly
sounded as th in although, and at the
end of a word as th lisped in pain, or
as t. In Andalusia and some parts
of America it is by some made silent
in the termination ado, ido, and they
say comprdo, vend/to, instead of com-
prado, vendido. All these faults
shoultl be carefully avoided. D. is a
contraction for Don, Dona, and Doc-
tor; DD., doctors. As a Eonian
numeral, D. is 500.

H.
H [ah'-chay], ninth letter of the Cas-
tilian alpliabet, is now treated as a
mere aspiration. The moderns use
h to soften the pronunciation of
many words, as facer, fijo, are now
written hacer, hijo. For the same
purpose it is placed before h, fol-
lowed by e, in many words derived
from the Latin ; as huevo, from ovnm,
an egg ; hueso, from os. The h is
never sounded in the Spanish lan-
guage except by the connnon people
in Andalusia, Extremadura, and the
former Spanish possessions in
America. The words in which h was
preceded by a p, and took the sound
of /, are now written as pronounced,
thus : fenomeno, phenomenon. After
rand t the h is entirely omitted, as in
rcuma, rheum, teatro, theatre : but it
is retained, but not aspirated, in all
words which originally began with ft,
or between two vowels, as honor, al-
mohaza. — H. 1. In German nuisical

w.
ThiR letter does not belong to the
Spanish alphabet and is only used in
terms, chiefly proper names, taken
from languages of northern Europe.
It is named V doble (double v). In
chemistry W stands for Wolfram
(tungsten).
X.
X [ay'-kisl, /. The twenty-sixth letter
of the alphabet. This letter is pro-
nounced like cs or gs in English ;
the Castilians give it constantly only
the sound of cs ; in the other Span-
ish provinces both sounds are indif-
ferently used. When it is the last
letter of a word it has a guttural
sound, like that of the Spanish j (the
German ch in Ich), as in carcax
(quiver) ; but such words are no
longer written with x, but with j ;
thus reloj (watch), formerly relax. As
this sound is rather difficult to utter,
words ending with j are pronounced
either by dropping that letter, or
sounding it like cs ; thus, relo or re-
Iocs. To give this letter its true gut-
tural sound is considered by many as
an affectation. — X had formerly two
distinct sounds ; one like cs, which
■was indicated by a circumflex accent
over the vowel that followed the x,
and the other guttural, like an Eng-
lish h verystrongly aspirated, in which
case the vowel was unaccented ; thus,
proximo (adj. proximate, next), and
proximo (n. a fellow-being) : the first
was pronounced proc'-se-mo, and the
second pro'-he-mo. At present, all
those words in which the x has a gut-
tural sound are written with j, which
the scholar is requested to consult.
It is becoming a very censurable
fashion, particularly in America, for
want of proper instruction, to pro-
nounce and write s instead of x in
a great number of words beginning
with ex ; thus, es&men, esperiencia,
etc. : but this use is not supported
by the old Castilians and educated
persons. X (and j) often represent
the Arabic letter shin. Thus car-
cax (now carcaj); xdbeca (net, now
jabeca) ; Xerez (now Jerez, whence
"sherry").
Xa, Xe, Xi, Xo, Xu. Words formerly
beginning with either of these syl-
lables, will be found in Ja, Je, Ji,
Jo, Ji-.

Y.
Y [yay, ee gre-ay'-gah], /. The twenty-
seventh letter of the Castilian alpha-
bet, stands as a vowel and a conso-
nant. Y, when alone, or after a
vowel, or followed by a consonant,
or at the end of a word, is a vowel,
and sounds as e or ee in English:
Hoy y mafiana (To-day and to-mor-
row), o'-e ee mah-nyah'-nah. — Y. be-
fore a vowel in the same syllable, or
between two vowels in the same
word, is a consonant, and sounds like
the Englisb y in the words yard,
yell, you. Of late attempts have
been wrongly made to revive the
old fashion of writing i instead of
y at the end of words, and when it
is a conjunction ; thus, estoi, doi, i,
etc., in place of estoy, day, y. Words
formerly written with y before a con-
sonant, as reyna. peyne, have changed
it into i ; thus, reiiia. peine.
Y [ee], conj. And. It is frequently
used in interrogatives, or by way of a
reply ; as i Y tu, no haces lo mismo ?
And you, do you not do the same ?
i Y tu, donde has estado f And thou,
where hast thou been ? i Ybien ? And
well then ? i Y que tenemos con eso ?
And what is that to us? or. And
what of all that ? Generally it is a
copulative conjunction; as, Alfonso,
Fernando y Manuel, Alphonsus, Fer-
dinand, and Emmanuel. When the
conjunction y is followed by a word
beginning with i or hi, the conjunc-
tion e is used in its stead ; as, Sabi-
duria e ignorancia. Wisdom and ig-
norance. Padre e hijo. Father and
son.

APPENDIX.
A VOCABULARY OF GEOGRAPHICAL TERMS
WHICH ARE NOT IDENTICAL IN THE ENGLISH AND SPANISH LANGUAGES.
Note. — Adjectives derived from proper names, geographical and other, are entered in the body of the dictionary
and therefore not repeated lierc. Thus : AV)isiriio, a, Abyssinian ; Cesariano, na, Ca>sarian, belonging to Julius Cajsar.
N. B. — Words derived from the names of countries, towns, etc., may V>e taken as substantives or adjectives; as,
American, Americano, which means a native of America, or things relating to America. Therefore, and in order to
avoid useless repetition, only the English word corresponding to the Spanish, or the periphrasis native of, is annexed
to it. The scholar may easily find out whether the noun is taken substantively or adjectively. He is also to keep in
mind that this kind of nouns, if they terminate in o, change it into a for the feminine, and add a when tliey end in a
consonant ; as, Italiano, Italiana ; Andaluz, Andaluza ; Ingles, Inglesa, etc.
