      vocal consonant. it is usually called a semivowel or
      liquid. its form and value are from the greek, through the

   note: at the end of monosyllables containing a single vowel,
         it is often doubled, as in fall, full, bell; but not
         after digraphs, as in foul, fool, prowl, growl, foal.
         in english words, the terminating syllable le is

         voice glide, as in able, eagle, pronounced =a"b'l,
         =e"g'l. see guide to pronunciation, sect241.
