e or kw[)i]-n[=i]ne', not kwi-neen'. Worcester gives kw[)i]-n[=i]ne' or kw[)i]n'[=i]ne. =Quoit=--kwoit, not kw[=a]te. =Quoth=--kw[=o]th or kw[)u]th, not kw[)o]th. R. =Rabies=--r[=a]'bi-[=e]z, not r[)a]b'[=e]z. Madness, as that of dogs. =Radish=--r[)a]d'ish, not r[)e]d-ish. =Raillery=--r[)a]l'ler-y, not r[=a]l'ler-y. Slight ridicule; pleasantry. =Raise=--=Rise.= _Raise_ is a transitive verb, or one in which the action passes over to an object. Present tense, _raise_; imperfect tense and past participle, _raised_; present participle, _raising_. _Rise_ is an intransitive verb, the action not passing over to an object. Present tense, _rise_; imperfect tense, _rose_; past participle, _risen_; present participle, _rising_. Errors in the use of these words ought to be avoided by remembering the following rules: 1. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that passes over to an object, use _raise_, _raised_, and _raising_. 2. If the person or thing spoken of exerts an action that does not pass over to an object, use _rise_, _rose_, _risen_, _rising_. To avoid further repetition in the method I have adopted to impress upon the mind the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs by contrasted sentences, I would refer the reader to the remarks under =Lay=. "I will _raise_ in the morning at five," should be, "I will _rise_," etc. "I will _raise_ the _window_," etc., is correct, for the action passes to or affects the window. "I will _raise myself_ if I have the strength" is correct, because an object, _myself_, is furnished. "The price of flour is _raising_," should be, "The price of flour is _rising_;" but it is right to say, "The merchants are _raising_ the price of flour." "Gold has _raised_ in value," should be, "Gold has _risen_ in value." "The price of bonds _raised_ in less than an hour," should be, "The price of bonds _rose_," etc. "The sun is _raising_," should be, "The sun is _rising_." "The sun is _raising_ the temperature," is proper. The pulse has _risen_, but excitement has _raised_ it. The river has _risen_ in its bed and has _raised_ the
