It is not only important, but, in a degree necessary, that the people of this country, should have an American Dictionary of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England, and it is desirable to perpetuate that sameness, yet some differences must exist. Language is the expression of ideas; and if the people of one country cannot preserve an identity of ideas, they cannot retain an identity of language. |
HY'PHEN, n. [Gr. under one, or to one.] A mark or short line made between two words to show that they form a compound word,or are to be connected; as in pre-occupied; five-leafed; ink-stand. In writing and printing, the hyphen is used to connect the syllables of a divided word, and is placed after the syllable that closes a line, denoting the connection of that syllable or part of a word with the first syllable of the next line.
A mark or short dash,
thus [-], placed at the end of a line which terminates with a
syllable of a word, the remainder of which is carried to the next
line; or between the parts of many a compound word; as in fine-
leaved, clear-headed. It is also sometimes used to
separate the syllables of words.
To connect with, or separate by, a hyphen, as
two words or the parts of a word.
