[A QUEEN BEE PRODUCES 100,000 EGGS IN A SEASON.] 186. Double Meaning. But it will be very important to bear in mind that there are many words having a double meaning or application, and that the difference of meaning is indicated by the difference of the accent. Among these words, nouns are distinguished from verbs by this means: nouns are mostly accented on the first syllable, and verbs on the last. [A COW YIELDS 168 LBS. OF BUTTER PER ANNUM.] 187. Noun signifies Name; Nouns are the names of persons and things, as well as of things not material and palpable, but of which we have a conception and knowledge, such as courage, firmness, goodness, strength; and verbs express actions, movements, &c. If the word used signifies that anything has been done, or is being done, or is, or is to be done, then that word is a verb.
