+<p><hw>R</hw> <pr>(<aum/r)</pr>. <def>R, the eighteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a vocal consonant. It is sometimes called a <xex>semivowel</xex>, and a <xex>liquid</xex>. See <xex>Guide to Pronunciation</xex>, <sect/<sect/ 178, 179, and 250-254.</def> \'bd<xex>R</xex> is the dog's letter and hurreth in the sound.\'b8 <rj><au>B. Jonson.</au></rj><br/
+[<source>1913 Webster</source>]</p>
+
+<p><note> In words derived from the Greek language the letter <xex>h</xex> is generally written after <xex>r</xex> to represent the aspirated sound of the Greek <grk>"r</grk>, but does not affect the pronunciation of the English word, as <xex>rhapsody</xex>, <xex>rhetoric</xex>.<br/
+[<source>1913 Webster</source>]</p>
+
+<p> The English letter derives its form from the Greek through the Latin, the Greek letter being derived from the Ph<oe/nician, which, it is believed, is ultimately of Egyptian origin. Etymologically, R is most closely related to <it>l</it>, <it>s</it>, and <it>n</it>; as in bando<it>r</it>e, mando<it>l</it>e; purp<it>l</it>e, L. purpu<it>r</it>a; E. chapte<it>r</it>, F. chapit<it>r</it>e, L. capitu<it>l</it>um; E. wa<it>s</it>, we<it>r</it>e; ha<it>r</it>e, G. ha<it>s</it>e; E. orde<it>r</it>, F. ord<it>r</it>e, L. ordo, ordi<it>n</it>is; E. coffe<it>r</it>, coffi<it>n.</it>
