OF WORDS

From these syllables words are made: of which some have two syllables, some three, some four, or more. There are some that consist of a single syllable: such as blé, né. There are also those that are made from a single vowel: such as a, in this sentence, a Dieu nous di. il y eſt allé. O le dommage.

OF SPEECH.

Finally, from various words joined together, a certain context is made (which we call speech), so compacted that we use it to say and write whatever we have conceived in our mind.
There are nine types of words, which are called parts of speech, namely Noun, Article, Pronoun, Verb, Participle, Adverb, Conjunction, Preposition, and Interjection.
