R \R\ ([aum]r).
R, the eighteenth letter of English alphabet, is a vocal
consonant. It is sometimes called a semivowel, and a liquid.
See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178, 179, and
250-254. ``R is the dog's letter and hurreth in the sound.''
--B. Jonson.
Note: In words derived from the Greek language the letter h
is generally written after r to represent the aspirated
sound of the Greek "r, but does not affect the
pronunciation of the English word, as rhapsody,
rhetoric. The English letter derives its form from the
Greek through the Latin, the Greek letter derived from
the Ph[oe]nician, which, it is believed, is ultimately
of Egyptian origin. Etymologically, R is most closely
related to l, s, and n; as in bandore, mandole; purple,
L. purpura; E. chapter, F. chapitre, L. capitulum; E.
was, were; hare, G. hase; E. order, F. ordre, L. ordo,
ordinis; E. coffer, coffin.
{The three Rs}, a jocose expression for reading, (w)riting,
and (a)rithmetic, -- the fundamentals of an education.
