<p><hw>S</hw> <pr>(&ebreve_;s)</pr>, <def>the nineteenth letter of the English alphabet, is a consonant, and is often called a sibilant, in allusion to its hissing sound. It has two principal sounds; one a mere hissing, as in <xex>sack</xex>, <xex>this</xex>; the other a vocal hissing (the same as that of <xex>z</xex>), as in <xex>is</xex>, <xex>wise</xex>. Besides these it sometimes has the sounds of <xex>sh</xex> and <xex>zh</xex>, as in <xex>sure</xex>, <xex>measure</xex>. It generally has its hissing sound at the beginning of words, but in the middle and at the end of words its sound is determined by usage. In a few words it is silent, as in <xex>isle</xex>, <xex>d&eacute;bris</xex>.  With the letter <xex>h</xex> it forms the digraph <xex>sh</xex>.  See <xex>Guide to pronunciation</xex>, &sect;&sect; 255-261.</def><br/>
[<source>1913 Webster</source>]</p>

<p><note>   Both the form and the name of the letter S are derived from the Latin, which got the letter through the Greek from the Ph&aelig;nician. The ultimate origin is Egyptian. S is etymologically most nearly related to <xex>c</xex>, <xex>z</xex>, <xex>t</xex>, and <xex>r</xex>; as, in i<xex>c</xex>e, OE. i<xex>s</xex>; E. hen<xex>c</xex>e, OE. henne<xex>s</xex>; E. ra<xex>s</xex>e, ra<xex>z</xex>e; era<xex>s</xex>e, ra<xex>z</xex>or; tha<xex>t</xex>, G. da<xex>s</xex>; E. rea<xex>s</xex>on, F. rai<xex>s</xex>on,  L. ra<xex>t</xex>io; E. wa<xex>s</xex>, we<xex>r</xex>e; chai<xex>r</xex>, chai<xex>s</xex>e (see C, Z, T, and R.).</note><br/>

<p><note>&hand_; In man the saliva is a more or less turbid and slighty viscid fluid, generally of an alkaline reaction, and is secreted by the parotid, submaxillary, and sublingual glands. In the mouth the saliva is mixed with the secretion from the buccal glands. The secretions from the individual salivary glands have their own special characteristics, and these are not the same in all animals. In man and many animals <xex>mixed saliva</xex>, i.e., saliva composed of the secretions of all three of the salivary glands, is an important digestive fluid on account of the presence of the peculiar enzyme, ptyalin.</note><br/>
