+<p><hw>S</hw> <pr>(<ecr/s)</pr>, <def>the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a consonant, and is often called a sibilant, in allusion to its hissing sound. It has two principal sounds; one a mere hissing, as in <xex>sack</xex>, <xex>this</xex>; the other a vocal hissing (the same as that of <xex>z</xex>), as in <xex>is</xex>, <xex>wise</xex>. Besides these it sometimes has the sounds of <xex>sh</xex> and <xex>zh</xex>, as in <xex>sure</xex>, <xex>measure</xex>. It generally has its hissing sound at the beginning of words, but in the middle and at the end of words its sound is determined by usage. In a few words it is silent, as in <xex>isle</xex>, <xex>d\'82bris</xex>. With the letter <xex>h</xex> it forms the digraph <xex>sh</xex>. See <xex>Guide to pronunciation</xex>, <sect/<sect/ 255-261.</def><br/
+[<source>1913 Webster</source>]</p>
+
+<p><note> Both the form and the name of the letter S are derived from the Latin, which got the letter through the Greek from the Ph\'91nician. The ultimate origin is Egyptian.
