* Maria. This word, says Labbe, derived from the Hebrew, has the accent on the second syllable; but when a Latin word, the feminine of Marius, it has the accent on the first.

* Megara.-I have in this word followed Labbe, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, by adopting the antepenultimate accent in opposition to Lempriere, who accents the penultimate syllable.

+ Megareus.-Labbe pronounces this word in four syllables, when a noun substantive; but Ainsworth marks it as a trisyllable, when a proper name; and in my opinion incorrectly.-See Idomeneus.

* Melobosis.—In this word I have given the preference to the antepenultimate accent, with Labbe, Gouldman, and Holyoke; though the penultimate, which Lempriere has adopted, is more agreeable to the ear.

* Mulucha.-This word is accented on the antepenultimate syllable by Labbe, Lempriere, and Ainsworth; and on the penultimate by Gouldman and Holyoke. Labbe, indeed, says ut volueris; and I shall certainly avail myself of this permission to place the accent on the penultimate; for when this syllable ends with u, the English have a strong propensity to place the accent on it, even in opposition to etymology, as in the word Arbutus.

....

+ Mycale and Mycone-An English ear seems to have a strong predilection for the penultimate accent on these words; but all our prosodists accent them on the antepenultimate. The same may be observed of Mutina.-See note on Oryus.

Myrinus.-Labbe is the only prosodist I have met with who accents this word on the antepenultimate syllable; and as this accentuation is so contrary to analogy, I have followed Lempriere, Ainsworth, Gouldman, and Holyoke, with the accent on the penultimate.-See the word in the Terminational Vocabulary.
