The Daily Dispatch: November 19, 1860., [Electronic resource], The Chinese rebels and the Chinese trade (search)
About words. A lady correspondent asks us how to call Nemesis. It is pronounced exactly like "Genesis." It is a Greek name, and the last "e" in the Greek spelling is short. Therefore, the e is short in the English spelling. The pronunciation may be indicated thus: Nem-esis, the last e being short. The same correspondent asks us how to call "Anathema." Two words of very different signification are spelt thus in English. One of them signifies a curse, and is spelt in Greek with a short e. The e is, therefore, pronounced short in English, as in Anacreon. Its pronunciation may be signified by dividing it thus. Anath-ema, the e being short. The other "Anath-ema,"is spelt with the long Greek e and is, therefore, called "Anathema," the e being long as in Polyphemus.--It signifies a votive offering.
