-<p><hw>L</hw> <pr>(<ecr/l)</pr> <pos>n.</pos> <sn>1.</sn> <def>L is the twelfth letter of the English alphabet, and a vocal consonant. It is usually called a <xex>semivowel</xex> or <xex>liquid</xex>. Its form and value are from the Greek, through the Latin, the form of the Greek letter being from the Ph\'d2nician, and the ultimate origin prob. Egyptian. Etymologically, it is most closely related to <xex>r</xex> and <xex>u</xex>; as in pi<xex>l</xex>grim, pe<xex>r</xex>egrine, co<xex>u</xex>ch (fr. co<xex>ll</xex>ocare), a<xex>u</xex>bura (fr. LL. a<xex>l</xex>burnus).</def><br/
-[<source>1913 Webster</source>]</p>
-
-<p><note> At the end of monosyllables containing a single vowel, it is often doubled, as in <xex>fall</xex>, <xex>full</xex>, <xex>bell</xex>; but not after digraphs, as in <xex>foul</xex>, <xex>fool</xex>, <xex>prowl</xex>, <xex>growl</xex>, <xex>foal</xex>. In English words, the terminating syllable <xex>le</xex> is unaccented, the <xex>e</xex> is silent, and <xex>l</xex> is preceded by a voice glide, as in <xex>able</xex>, <xex>eagle</xex>, pronounced <pr>\'be"b'l</pr>, <pr><emac/"g'l</pr>.
