Inordinately desirous; inordinately eager of money, avaricious. In the pronunciation of this word and its compounds, Mr. Sheridan has adopte i a vulgarism, of which one could scarcely have suspected him; but pronouncing covetshus for covetous is not only a vlga ism, but contrary to analogy. All these diphthongs and diphthongal vowels which draw the preceding constants to O aspiration are such as commence with the sound of e; which, from its nearness to the sound of double e, and the nearness of this sound to the commencing sound of y, approaches to the hissing sound of s, z, and soft c, and in the absence of accent coalesces with them. Tand D being formed in the same seat of sound as the s, z, and soft c, when the accent is before them, easily slide into the same sound before similar vowels, but never before any other: for we might with as much propriety pronounce calamitous and necessitous, calamitshus and necessitshus, as covetous, covetshus.
