a


Значение термина a в knolik



a - First letter and vowel of the English and many other alphabets. Its commonest sounds in English are those heard in bar, map, bald, name. Under the influence of certain consonants and in certain positions it has the value of short e, i, o, u, as in many, village, was, about. It may be doubled, but this is rare, occurring only in names and words of foreign origin, e.g. Aaron, Baal, Balaam, aard-vark. Combined with other vowels, as in ae, ai, ao, au, aw, ay, it has in each instance except aw. more than one phonetic value. The diphthong ae, corresponding to the Greek ai, as in Caesar, aegis, is frequently pronounced as two syllables, as in aerated. Ao, pronounced as a diphthong in aorist. aorta, also occurs in the word gaol, pronounced and commonly spelt jail. Ai and ay usually have the sound of a in name, but sometimes they have that of short a, e, and long i, as in plaid, says, aisle, and quay is pronounced kee. Au generally (aw always) has the sound of a in call, but in aunt, gauge, laurel, laudanum that of a in father and name, and of o in not. See Alphabet.
