   R \R\ ([aum]r).
      R, the eighteenth letter of English alphabet, is a vocal
      consonant. It is sometimes called a semivowel, and a liquid.
      See Guide to Pronunciation, [sect][sect] 178, 179, and
      250-254. [bd]R is the dog's letter and hurreth in the
      sound.[b8] --B. Jonson.
  
      Note: In words derived from the Greek language the letter h
               is generally written after r to represent the aspirated
               sound of the Greek "r, but does not affect the
               pronunciation of the English word, as rhapsody,
               rhetoric. The English letter derives its form from the
               Greek through the Latin, the Greek letter derived from
               the Ph[oe]nician, which, it is believed, is ultimately
               of Egyptian origin. Etymologically, R is most closely
               related to l, s, and n; as in bandore, mandole; purple,
               L. purpura; E. chapter, F. chapitre, L. capitulum; E.
               was, were; hare, G. hase; E. order, F. ordre, L. ordo,
