Re: [AI] hi list members good morning a small query please answer
Dear Friends My query is, many a times, when 2 or more consonants come together then 1 consonant is unpronounced. Why? Then in the case, then in the words, “Honest, Honour & Xerox”, why “H & X” are silent? Know, Knee, Knowledge, Knife, Psychology, Pneumonia, Physics, Philosophy have the first letter silent. In the words having ph together, is pronounced as f. Why is it so? -- Good friendship is like the relationship between eye & hand! If the hand is hurt, the eye will cry! & when the eye cries, the hand will wipe the tears!!!

Re: [AI] hi list members good morning a small query please answer
I believe the question here is: Why do some words spell with a silent letter? --OR-- What role do silent letters play in the spelling of some words like 'honest', 'honour', 'pneumonia', etc? Hope I am correctly understanding the question though have no convincing answer. On 4/17/09, Suryanarayana wrote: > Hi sir, > Sorry I couldn't understand your cleary. Can you please elaberate it?

Re: [AI] hi list members good morning a small query please answer

We can't give exact reason in particular. I too had a doubt previously when reffered some books, It noticed like that.
