PRONUNCIATION
Act or mode of utterance (of syllables or single words) appellatio (☞ not pronunciatio which is always = actio the whole delivery): prolatio (the uttering a word; Liv. 22 13 Punicum os abhorret ab Latinorum nominum prolatione; i.e. the Latin names are very difficult to the Carthaginians): locutio (a speaking). An agreeable pronunciation suavis appellatio litterarum; litterarum appellandarum suavitas: a gentle pronunciation lenis appellatio litterarum: a correct pronunciation emendata locutio: a pleasant and distinct pronunciation emendata cum suavitate vocum explanatio (Quint. 1 5 33): by a broad pronunciation valde dilatandis litteris: the sharp or acute pronunciation of a syllable correptio (opposed to productio).
Delivery of language; accent; os (language uttered): vox (voice); (The words are found in this connection and order.) os ac vox (full-toned): vocis sonus or from the context simply sonus (tone of voice). A correct pronunciation vocis sonus rectus (opposed to oris pravitas): a clear pronunciation os explanatum or planum (opposed to os confusum): agreeable pronunciation suavitas vocis or oris ac vocis; os jucundum: a refined or elegant pronunciation os urbanum: an easy or smooth pronunciation os facile (opposed to asperitas soni): a rude pronunciation oris rusticitas; sonus subrusticus: a foreign pronunciation sonus peregrinus; oris peregrinitas; os barbarum; os in peregrinum sonum corruptum (broken). I don’t like an affected pronunciation nolo exprimi litteras putidius (Cic.): we must write according to the pronunciation perinde scribendum est ac loquamur; sic scribendum quidque judico quomodo sonat: not to write words according to the pronunciation verba aliter scribere ac enunciantur. To have (such) a pronunciation; Vid: the corresponding phrase in To PRONOUNCE.
