Modern Art Hool: RIFFES, grif'is, Charles Tomlinson (1884-920), American composer, who is best described > an eclectic impressionist. He was born in Imira, N. Y., on Sept. 27, 1884.

The final consonants -b, -d, -g, and -r were dropped, and final semivowels appeared, to form diphthongs with the main vowel. The number of tones increased to four. In the majority of the modern art hool Chinese dialects there are usually only two grades of consonants (p and p') and, as we have noted, three consonant endings (-n, -ng, and a modern art hool -r). The four tones of modern art hool Chinese differ from "those of ancient Chinese in that the old first tone has been subdivided into the modern art hool first and second tones and the old fourth-tone words have been distributed among the other modern art hool tones.
