FYZABAD, a rapidly decaying city of Onde, stands on the right bank of the Ghogr, a, here a navigable river, in lat. 26° 47' n., and long. 82° 10' east. Originally an append age, as it were, of Ayodha or Oude, the ancient capital from which the country took its name, F. became, in 1730, itself the seat of government. But in 1775, immediately after the annexation of part of Rohilcund (see FUTEHGUNGE), it was supplanted by Luck now, which lay about 90 m, to the w., in the direction of the newly acquired territory. Pop. '71, 37,804.
Cs1 THE seventh letter in the Roman alphabet, and in the modern alphabets derived " from it. For the history of the character, see ALPHABET and letter C. The original and proper sound of G (corresponding to Gil. y) is that heard in gun, gi•e, glad. But the same natural process which turned the k-sound of c before e and i into that of s (see C), produced a similar change on G, so that before e and i it came to be pronounced by the Latins like Gbh. The sibilation of the letter g before i followed by a vowel, had begun as early as the 4th c. A.D., as is evident from the misspelling in inscriptions; in the case of c, the change can be detected much earlier. From the Latin the of g passed into the Romanic tongues, and also into English. As a general rule in English, in words derived from the classical and Romanic languages, g has the hissing sound before e, i, and y; it has its natural sound in all words before a, o, and te; and it retains it in Teutonic words even before e and i.
G, in its proper, .potver, belongs of gutturals, k or c, g, ch °la; of the two " bare" gutturals, g is the fiat (or medial), and k the sharp; while gh and eh are the cor responding aspirates (q.v.).
The following are some of the interchanges between g and other letters: Lat. ager, Gr. agros, Eng. acre, Ger. acker; Gr. triakonta, Lat. triginta; Gr. gonu, Let. genu, Eng. knee; Let. (g) nosco, Gr. gignosco, Eng. know; Let. genus, Eng. kin; Gr. dien, Ger. gam, Eng. goose and gander; Let. hesternus, Ger. gestern, Eng. pester (flay); Lat. germanus, Span. human°. The convertibility of g and y is seen in the old English participles in y, as yclad, corresponding to Sax. and Ger. ge-; in Ger. gelb, Eng. yellow; Crer. tag, Eng. day; Ger. snag, Eng. may; gate for gate; yard for garden, Lat.hortus. In Italian, gt is substituted for j, as Giulio for Julius; and in French, which has no w, that letter is represented by gu, as guerre, guarder, for Eng. war, ward, or guard. G has been fre quently dropped out, as Let. nosco for gnosco; Eng. enough, compared with Ger. genug; agone, with ge-gangen; Lat. magister, Fr. maistre or maitre, Eng. master. May, Let. contracted from Illagius, is from a root ?nag, or (Sans.) mak, to grow: so that May is just the season of growth.
G, in music, is the fifth sound of the natural diatonic scale of C, and the eighth sound of the Chromatic scale. It stands in proportion to C as 2 to 3; is a perfect fifth above C, and the second harmonic arising from (i as a fundamental note. In the solmization of Guido Aretinus, the note G was called sol, re, or ut, according as the hexachord began with C, F, or G. G major as a key has one sharp at its signature, viz., F sharp. G minor has two flats at its signature, viz., B flat and E flat.
