C \C\ (s[emac])       1. C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from             the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the             sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the             latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the             Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k.

C \C\ (s[emac])       1. C is the third letter of the English alphabet. It is from             the Latin letter C, which in old Latin represented the             sounds of k, and g (in go); its original value being the             latter. In Anglo-Saxon words, or Old English before the             Norman Conquest, it always has the sound of k. The Latin C             was the same letter as the Greek [GAMMA], [gamma], and             came from the Greek alphabet. The Greeks got it from the             Ph[oe]nicians. The English name of C is from the Latin             name ce, and was derived, probably, through the French.             Etymologically C is related to g, h, k, q, s (and other             sibilant sounds). Examples of these relations are in L.             acutus, E. acute, ague; E. acrid, eager, vinegar; L.             cornu, E. horn; E. cat, kitten; E. coy, quiet; L. circare,             OF. cerchier, E. search.          Note: See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 221-228.          2.

Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the             Note below.          Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as                the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the                raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it                includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the                glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,                dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true                sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.                See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are                ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn                the plane of polarization to the right or the left.                They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by                the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are                themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and                carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}.

Cf. {Saccharine}, {Sucrose}.]       1. A sweet white (or brownish yellow) crystalline substance,             of a sandy or granular consistency, obtained by             crystallizing the evaporated juice of certain plants, as             the sugar cane, sorghum, beet root, sugar maple, etc. It             is used for seasoning and preserving many kinds of food             and drink. Ordinary sugar is essentially sucrose. See the             Note below.          Note: The term sugar includes several commercial grades, as                the white or refined, granulated, loaf or lump, and the                raw brown or muscovado. In a more general sense, it                includes several distinct chemical compounds, as the                glucoses, or grape sugars (including glucose proper,                dextrose, and levulose), and the sucroses, or true                sugars (as cane sugar). All sugars are carbohydrates.                See {Carbohydrate}. The glucoses, or grape sugars, are                ketone alcohols of the formula {C6H12O6}, and they turn                the plane of polarization to the right or the left.                They are produced from the amyloses and sucroses, as by                the action of heat and acids of ferments, and are                themselves decomposed by fermentation into alcohol and                carbon dioxide. The only sugar (called acrose) as yet                produced artificially belongs to this class. The                sucroses, or cane sugars, are doubled glucose                anhydrides of the formula {C12H22O11}. They are usually                not fermentable as such (cf. {Sucrose}), and they act                on polarized light.          2.

In the cut, a is the body; b, the                face, or part from which the impression is taken; c,                the shoulder, or top of the body; d, the nick                (sometimes two or more are made), designed to assist                the compositor in distinguishing the bottom of the face                from the top; e, the groove made in the process of                finishing, -- each type as cast having attached to the                bottom of the body a jet, or small piece of metal                (formed by the surplus metal poured into the mold),                which, when broken off, leaves a roughness that                requires to be removed. The fine lines at the top and                bottom of a letter are technically called ceriphs, and                when part of the face projects over the body, as in the                letter f, the projection is called a kern. The type                which compose an ordinary book font consist of Roman                CAPITALS, small capitals, and lower-case letters, and                Italic CAPITALS and lower-case letters, with                accompanying figures, points, and reference marks, --                in all about two hundred characters. Including the                various modern styles of fancy type, some three or four                hundred varieties of face are made. Besides the                ordinary Roman and Italic, some of the most important                of the varieties are -- Old English. Black Letter. Old                Style. French Elzevir. Boldface. Antique. Clarendon.                Gothic. Typewriter. Script. The smallest body in common                use is diamond; then follow in order of size, pearl,                agate, nonpareil, minion, brevier, bourgeois (or                two-line diamond), long primer (or two-line pearl),                small pica (or two-line agate), pica (or two-line                nonpareil), English (or two-line minion), Columbian (or                two-line brevier), great primer (two-line bourgeois),                paragon (or two-line long primer), double small pica                (or two-line small pica), double pica (or two-line                pica), double English (or two-line English), double                great primer (or two-line great primer), double paragon                (or two-line paragon), canon (or two-line double pica).                Above this, the sizes are called five-line pica,                six-line pica, seven-line pica, and so on, being made                mostly of wood.

Carbonic \Car*bon"ic\, a. [Cf. F. carbonique. See {Carbon}.]       (Chem.)       Of, pertaining to, or obtained from, carbon; as, carbonic       oxide.          {Carbonic acid} (Chem.), an acid {H2CO3}, not existing             separately, which, combined with positive or basic atoms             or radicals, forms carbonates. In common language the term             is very generally applied to a compound of carbon and             oxygen, {CO2}, more correctly called {carbon dioxide}. It             is a colorless, heavy, irrespirable gas, extinguishing             flame, and when breathed destroys life. It can be reduced             to a liquid and solid form by intense pressure. It is             produced in the fermentation of liquors, and by the             combustion and decomposition of organic substances, or             other substances containing carbon. It is formed in the             explosion of fire damp in mines, and is hence called             {after damp}; it is also know as {choke damp}, and             {mephitic air}. Water will absorb its own volume of it,             and more than this under pressure, and in this state             becomes the common soda water of the shops, and the             carbonated water of natural springs. Combined with lime it             constitutes limestone, or common marble and chalk. Plants             imbibe it for their nutrition and growth, the carbon being             retained and the oxygen given out.          {Carbonic oxide} (Chem.), a colorless gas, {CO}, of a light             odor, called more correctly {carbon monoxide}. It is             almost the only definitely known compound in which carbon             seems to be divalent. It is a product of the incomplete             combustion of carbon, and is an abundant constituent of             water gas. It is fatal to animal life, extinguishes             combustion, and burns with a pale blue flame, forming             carbon dioxide.

Carbonic \Car*bon"ic\, a. [Cf. F. carbonique. See {Carbon}.]       (Chem.)       Of, pertaining to, or obtained from, carbon; as, carbonic       oxide.          {Carbonic acid} (Chem.), an acid {H2CO3}, not existing             separately, which, combined with positive or basic atoms             or radicals, forms carbonates. In common language the term             is very generally applied to a compound of carbon and             oxygen, {CO2}, more correctly called {carbon dioxide}. It             is a colorless, heavy, irrespirable gas, extinguishing             flame, and when breathed destroys life. It can be reduced             to a liquid and solid form by intense pressure. It is             produced in the fermentation of liquors, and by the             combustion and decomposition of organic substances, or             other substances containing carbon. It is formed in the             explosion of fire damp in mines, and is hence called             {after damp}; it is also know as {choke damp}, and             {mephitic air}. Water will absorb its own volume of it,             and more than this under pressure, and in this state             becomes the common soda water of the shops, and the             carbonated water of natural springs. Combined with lime it             constitutes limestone, or common marble and chalk. Plants             imbibe it for their nutrition and growth, the carbon being             retained and the oxygen given out.          {Carbonic oxide} (Chem.), a colorless gas, {CO}, of a light             odor, called more correctly {carbon monoxide}. It is             almost the only definitely known compound in which carbon             seems to be divalent. It is a product of the incomplete             combustion of carbon, and is an abundant constituent of             water gas. It is fatal to animal life, extinguishes             combustion, and burns with a pale blue flame, forming             carbon dioxide.

CJK          In {internationalisation}, a collective term for       Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.          These languages all share the fact that their writing systems       are based partly on {Han characters} (i.e., "hanzi" or       "{kanji}"), which are complex enough of a system to require       16-bit {character encodings}.   CJK character encodings should       consist minimally of {Han characters} plus language-specific       phonetic scripts such as pinyin, bopomofo, hiragana, hangul,       etc.          {CJKV} is CJK plus {Vietnamese}.          {(ftp://ftp.ora.com/pub/examples/nutshell/ujip/doc/cjk.inf)}.          (2001-01-01)

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Cow       A cow and her calf were not to be killed on the same day (Lev.       22:28; Ex. 23:19; Deut. 22:6, 7). The reason for this enactment       is not given. A state of great poverty is described in the words       of Isa. 7:21-25, where, instead of possessing great resources, a       man shall depend for the subsistence of himself and his family       on what a single cow and two sheep could yield.
