<h1>G</h1> <Xpage=606>

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

<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 <i>c</i> hard, <i>k y</i>, and <i>w</i>; as in <i>c</i>orn, <i>g</i>rain, <i>k</i>ernel; <i>k</i>in L. <i>g</i>enus, Gr. <?/; E. <i>g</i>arden, <i>y</i>ard; dra<i>g</i>, dra<i>w</i>; also to <i>ch</i> and <i>h</i>; as in <i>g</i>et, pre<i>h</i>ensile; <i>g</i>uest, <i>h</i>ost (an army); <i>g</i>all, <i>ch</i>oler; <i>g</i>ust, <i>ch</i>oose. See <er>C</er>.</note>

<p><b>2.</b> <fld>(Mus.)</fld> <def>G is the name of the fifth tone of the natural or model scale; -- called also <altname>sol</altname> by the Italians and French. It was also originally used as the treble clef, and has gradually changed into the character represented in the margin. See <er>Clef</er>. G&sharp; (G sharp) is a tone intermediate between G and A.</def>
