| | Definition: | | \G\ (j[=e])
1. G is the seventh letter of the English alphabet, and a
vocal consonant. It has two sounds; one simple, as in
gave, go, gull; the other compound (like that of j), as in
gem, gin, dingy. See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect]
231-6, 155, 176, 178, 179, 196, 211, 246.
Note: The form of G is from the Latin, in the alphabet which
it first appeared as a modified form of C. The name is
also from the Latin, and probably comes to us through
the French. Etymologically it is most closely related
to a c hard, k y, and w; as in corn, grain, kernel; kin
L. genus, Gr. ?; E. garden, yard; drag, draw; also to
ch and h; as in get, prehensile; guest, host (an army);
gall, choler; gust, choose. See {C}.
2. (Mus.) G is the name of the fifth tone of the natural or
model scale; -- called also {sol} by the Italians and
French. It was also originally used as the treble clef,
and has gradually changed into the character represented
in the margin. See {Clef}. G[sharp] (G sharp) is a tone
intermediate between G and A.
