Summary
The position of the vocal organs in pronouncing this letter is thus described; Marius Victorinus p. 33 K d autem et t, quibus, ut ita dixerim, vocis vicinitas quaedam est, linguae sublatione et positione distinguuntur. Nam cum summos atque imos coniunctim dentes suprema sui parte pulsaverit, d litteram exprimit. Quotiens autem sublimata partem, qua superis dentibus est origo, contigerit, t sonore vocis explicabit.
