Examples
of
the
above.
Thus
when
we
say
that
anything
is
"an
in'sult,"
that
word
is
a
noun,
and
is
accented
on
the
first
syllable;
but
when
we
say
he
did
it
"to
insult'
another
person,"
the
word
insult'
implies
acting,
and
becomes
a
verb,
and
should
be
accented
on
the
last
syllable.
The
effect
is,
that,
in
speaking,
you
should
employ
a
different
pronunciation
in
the
use
of
the
same
word,
when
uttering
such
sentences
as
these:--"What
an
in'sult!"
"Do
you
mean
to
insult'
me?"
In
the
first
sentence
the
stress
of
voice
must
be
laid
upon
the
first
syllable,
in',
and
in
the
latter
case
upon
the
second
syllable,
sult'.

Meaning
varied
by
Accentuation.
A
list
of
nearly
all
the
words
that
are
liable
to
this
variation
is
given
in
the
following
page.
It
will
be
noticed
that
those
in
the
first
column,
having
the
accent
on
the
first
syllable,
are
mostly
nouns;
and
that
those
in
the
second
column,
which
have
the
accent
on
the
second
and
final
syllable,
are
mostly
verbs:
