412. "Other may be joined to a preceding word by doubling; but the vowel must generally be inserted." (Mun-son.) But in doubling every, several, some, my, our and your to add other, vocalization is not necessary, because there is no danger of conflict, as other, not there, will necessarily be supplied in reading.

Exercise

413. In the following phrases, other is expressed by doubling, without vocalization:

every other

every other case

every other occasion

every other reason

every other representation

every other right

if every other

my other

my other reasons

one other

one other advantage

one other decision

one other person

one other position

one other suggestion

several other

several other subjects several other suggestions in several others some other some other cases some other man some other person some other reason some other respects some other rights some others your other your others your other supposition when your other if your other

Exercise

414. In the following phrases, other following any may be expressed by doubling, but the accented vowel must be inserted, thus:

any other

any other cases

any other circumstances

any other day

any other decision

any other disposition

any other lesson

any other passage any other position any other subject any other thing any other testimony any other time any other variety

415. The common phrase no other, when it stands alone or begins a phrase, may be expressed by double-length n un-vocalized, but must be written in the third position (under the line) to distinguish it from another, written in the second.

Exercise

416. The object of the following exercise is to familiarize the learner with the very important distinction between another and no other:

another answer no other answer another book no other book another day no other day another notice no other notice another objection no other objection

another occasion no other occasion another passage no other passage another person no other person another portion no other portion another position no other position

417. When no other is attached to a preceding stroke, thereby losing its distinctive position, it must be vocalized,

thus: there is no other position

No other being thus distinguished by vocalization, another does not require vocalization, though when written in the midst of a phrase it loses the distinction of position.

418. In the following phrases, another is to be written without vocalization, and no other is to be vocalized:

in another case in no other case I have another objection I have no other objection this is another case this is no other case there is another position there is no other position there is another time there is no other time upon another (con)sideration upon no other (con)sideration upon another occasion upon no other occasion upon another subject upon no other subject under another (con)dition under no other (con)dition

419. If, at the end of a phrase, one word or several words be omitted, to be supplied by the sense, as in the phrase in reference to, which is constantly written

the last stroke actually written, though it be not the last sound of the phrase, may be made double length to express their, if the requirements for doubling be otherwise complied with. Thus we write in reference to their

"fictitious primitives" made double length.

420. As previously explained, in some cases the primitive word of the phrase is supposed or assumed to be written in a manner different from ordinary, whereby, when the supposed or assumed form is subjected to phrasing rules, we obtain useful phrases which would not otherwise be practicable. These primitive forms, different from those which are in fact used, have been designated "fictitious primitives." The following illustrations will show how the fictitious forms are utilized in connection with the doubling principle:

By doubling

the fictitious primitive for the, we obtain the phrase the other

By doubling

the fictitious primitive for of, we obtain the phrases of their

and of all there

By doubling

the fictitious primitive for that, we obtain that there'

By doubling

the fictitious primitive for with, we obtain the phrase with their

By doubling

the fictitious primitive for or, we obtain the phrase or there or or other

By doubling

and

the fictitious primitives for is and as, we obtain the phrases is their

and as their

Exercise

421. In the following phrases other, their and there, wherever they occur, should be expressed by doubling the "fictitious primitive," which in each case is distinguished by italics:

all the other

and the other

*as there

as there are (are upward)

as there can be

as there has been

as there has never

as there may be

as there should be

as there was

as there will be

between the other

by some means or other

by the other

give the other

*has there

has there been

has there never

has there not

I know the other

if the other

is the other

*is there

is there a

is there never

is there nobody

is there none

is there no more

is there not

is there now

is their own

is there some

is there somebody

is there to be

many of their

of all their

of all their doings

of all their lessons

of all their services

of all their success

of all their suggestions

of all their demands

on the other supposition

of some kind or other

of there

of their doings

of their lessons

of their services

*For another method of expressing as there, has there and is there, see Paragraphs 393-395.

of their success of their suggestions of their time that there is now that there must be that there will he the other the others the other is said the other side under the other when the other where the other

with the other with their with their cases with their majesty with their management with their many with their reasons with their regards with their representations with their requests with their respects with their services with their success "dear."

422. In a certain class of phrases, generally of a salutatory character, my may be made double length to add dear.

my dear brethren (brn)

my dear captain

my dear Charles

my dear colleague
