vocal consonant, and from the manner of its formation, is
called the labio-nasal consonant. See Guide to
Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178-180, 242.
Note: The letter M came into English from the Greek, through
the Latin, the form of the Greek letter being further
derived from the Ph[oe]nician, and ultimately, it is
believed, from the Egyptian. Etymologically M is
related to n, in lime, linden; emmet, ant; also to b. M
is readily followed by b and p. the position of the
lips in the formation of both letters being the same.
The relation of b and m is the same as that of d and t
to n. and that of g and k to ng.
2. As a numeral, M stands for one thousand, both in English
and Latin.
