Syllable stress of botanical names Suggested move title, as syllable stress of classical botanical names is simply syllable stress of classical Latin varies with the language spoken by the person using the botanical name. In English speaking countries the Botanical Latin places syllable stress for botanical names derived from ancient Greek and Latin broadly according to two systems, either the Reformed academic pronunciation , or the pronunciation developed initially in some large part by United Kingdom British gardeners, horticulturists, naturalists, and botanists of the 19th century. Clarify me post text What is the difference between these two systems? date March 2009 What follow are the rules of stress of reformed academic pronunciation of Latin intended to approximate the stress rules of ancient spoken Latin . Words of Greek origin are generally pronounced according to the same rules native ancient Greek rules of stress are not used. Generally in Latin each vowel or diphthong belongs to a single syllable. Classical Latin diphthongs are ae, au, oe. Diphthongs from Greek can include oi, eu, ei, and ou, and ui also occasionally occurs in botanical Latin. Syllables end in vowels, unless there are multiple consonants, in which case the consonants are divided between the two syllables, with certain consonants being treated as pairs. In words of two syllables the stress is on the first syllable. Words that contain three or more syllables have stresses accorded to their syllables by the quality and location of the different vowels in the words. In words of more than two syllables the stress is on the penultimate syllable when the syllable contains a long vowel or diphthong, otherwise the stress is on the antepenultimate syllable. ref cite book last Stearn first WT title Botanical Latin publisher Timber Press date 2004 location United Kingdom pages 546 isbn 0881926272 ref ... an acute accent to mark the stressed syllable.

In linguistics , open syllable lengthening is the process by which Short vowel short vowels become long when in an open syllable . It occurs in many languages at a phonetic or Allophone allophonic level, where no meaningful distinction in length is made. However, as it became phonemic in the Germanic languages , it is especially significant there, both historically and in the modern languages. Germanic languages Open syllable lengthening affected the stressed syllables of all Germanic languages in their history to some degree. Curiously, it seems to have affected all the languages around a similar time, somewhere between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries the late Middle Ages . The languages mainly differ in which vowels were lengthened and in which specific environment, but also in what the result of this lengthening was. There is substantial variation and in many languages the process has been largely undone by paradigmatic leveling . Sometimes, the newly lengthened vowels merged with existing long vowels, while in other languages they remained distinct because the older long vowels underwent changes of their own such as in Icelandic, and in the Scandinavian languages to a lesser degree . The lengthening often also applied in reverse at some point, shortening long vowels in closed syllables. As a consequence of the combination of these two changes, vowel length and consonant length came to be in complementary distribution . Because of that, consonant length was no longer a distinctive feature, and long consonants were shortened in many languages at some point afterwards. This in turn had consequences for spelling, in which consonant length was generally marked by doubling in the various Germanic languages, but vowel length was not. The doubled consonants then came to be used ... even when this is not etymological. English main Middle English phonology Open syllable lengthening ... syllable lengthening in the latter word .

In orthopedics , weight bearing is the amount of weight a patient puts on the leg on which surgery has been performed. In general, it is described as a percentage of the body weight, because each leg of a healthy person carries the full body weight when walking, in an alternating fashion. After surgery of the hip, or of the bones of the leg, ankle, or foot, it is of the utmost importance for recovery to get the right amount of weight bearing when moving around with crutches or frames. The grades of weight bearing for each phase of recovery will be determined by the surgeon. Grades Non weight bearing NWB The leg must not touch the floor and is not permitted to support any weight at all. ref name Pierson 2002 The patient may hop on the other leg or use crutch es or other devices for mobility.
