The words foretell, distill, instill and fulfill, retain the llof their primitives. Derivatives of dull, skill, will and full also retain the ll when the accent falls on these words; as dullness, skillfull, willfull, fullness.
Words of more than one syllable ending in l have only one l at the close; as delightful, faithful; unless the accent falls on the last syllable; as befall, etc.
Words ending in l, double the letter in the termination ly.
Participles ending in ing, from verbs ending in e, lose the final e; as have, having; make, making, etc; but verbs ending in eeretain both; as see, seeing. The word dye, to color, however, must retain the e before ing. All verbs ending in ly, and nouns ending in ment, retain the e final of the primitives; as brave, bravely; refine, refinement; except words ending in dge; as, acknowledge, acknowledgment.
Nouns ending in y, preceded by a vowel, form their plural by adding s; as money, moneys; but if y is preceded by a consonant, it is changed to ies in the plural; as bounty, bounties.
Compound words whose primitives end in y, change the y into i; as beauty, beautiful.
