-<p><hw>G</hw> <pr>(j<emac/)</pr> <sn>1.</sn> <def>G is the seventh letter of the English alphabet, and a vocal consonant. It has two sounds; one simple, as in <xex>gave</xex>, <xex>go</xex>, <xex>gull</xex>; the other compound (like that of <it>j</it>), as in <xex>gem</xex>, <xex>gin</xex>, <xex>dingy</xex>. See <xex>Guide to Pronunciation</xex>, <sect/<sect/ 231-6, 155, 176, 178, 179, 196, 211, 246.</def><br/

-<p><note>The form of G is from the Latin, in the alphabet which it first appeared as a modified form of C. The name is also from the Latin, and probably comes to us through the French. Etymologically it is most closely related to a <xex>c</xex> hard, <xex>k y</xex>, and <xex>w</xex>; as in <xex>c</xex>orn, <xex>g</xex>rain, <xex>k</xex>ernel; <xex>k</xex>in L. <xex>g</xex>enus, Gr. <?/; E. <xex>g</xex>arden, <xex>y</xex>ard; dra<xex>g</xex>, dra<xex>w</xex>; also to <xex>ch</xex> and <xex>h</xex>; as in <xex>g</xex>et, pre<xex>h</xex>ensile; <xex>g</xex>uest, <xex>h</xex>ost (an army); <xex>g</xex>all, <xex>ch</xex>oler; <xex>g</xex>ust, <xex>ch</xex>oose.
