Anglo-saxon
::
Anglo-Saxon
(n.) The
language
of the
English
people
before
the
Conquest
(sometimes
called
Old
English).
See
Saxon.
Q
::
Q () the
seventeenth
letter
of the
English
alphabet,
has but one sound (that of k), and is
always
followed
by u, the two
letters
together
being
sounded
like kw,
except
in some words in which the u is
silent.
See Guide to
Pronunciation,
/ 249. Q is not found in
Anglo-Saxon,
cw being used
instead
of qu; as in cwic,
quick;
cwen,
queen.
The name (k/) is from the
French
ku, which is from the Latin name of the same
letter;
its form is from the
Latin,
which
derived
it,
through
a Greek

from th

characteristic
of the
Anglo-Saxon
race;
especially,
a word or an idiom of the

tongue..
C
::
C () C is the third
letter
of the
English
alphabet.
It is from the Latin
letter
C, which in old Latin
represented
the
sounds
of k, and g (in go); its
original
value being the
latter.
In
Anglo-Saxon
words,
or Old
English
before
the
Norman
Conquest,
it
always
has the sound of k. The Latin C was the same
letter
as the Greek /, /, and came from the Greek
alphabet.
The
Greeks
got it from the
Ph/nicians.
The
English
name of C is from the Latin name ce, and was
derived,
probably,
through
the
French.

method
of
printing
the

Ae
::
Ae () A
diphthong
in the Latin
language;
used also by the Saxon
writers.
It
answers
to the Gr. ai. The
Anglo-Saxon
short ae was
generally
replaced
by a, the long / by e or ee. In
derivatives
from Latin words with ae, it is
mostly
superseded
by e. For most words found with this
initial
combination,
the
reader
will
therefore
search
under the
letter
E..

U
::
U () the
twenty-first
letter

English
alphabet,
is a
cursive
form of the
letter
V, with which it was

letters
being then used both as
vowels
and
consonants.
U and V are now,
however,
differentiated,
U being used only as a vowel or
semivowel,
and V only as a
consonant.
The true
primary
vowel sound of U, in
Anglo-Saxon,
was the sound which it still
retains
in most of the
languages
of
Europe,
that of long oo, as in tool, and short oo, as in wood,
answering
