upskip

An upstart.

If you should ever see any of the King's Judges taking upon them a legislative, instead of a judicial, Power; dispensing with, denying, or withholding the known, established Laws, or executing the Dictates of any foreign Legislature, or Jurisdiction, unapproved by our Parliament; if any such should presume to influence, or over-awe JURIES , by Threats, or other illicit Measures; or unlawfully to strip Juries of their Power, or Pivileges, or to censure, or abuse them, for making any just and lawful Presentment; for finding or rejecting any Bill, or for finding any true Verdict; or, if any of these Officers, in any other Manner commits a breach of his Oath and Duty; that Grand Jury, that does not, on the first fair Opportunity , present such an upskip, hireling Tyrant, as a Traitor and an Enemy to his King and Country; is purjured and infamous.

Nobody can tell that yet, of course; it is too soon; in a month, in two months, perhaps, we shall know whether Mussolini is a real leader or an upskip.

A raise in pitch with no perceptible glide connecting the tone to the previous sound

Someone reading the following aloud, The normal course will have one to three hour-examinations per term and a three-hour examination at the end of each term. will feel a need to put a pause after the first three and resume on hour with an abrupt upskip and also possibly a glottal stop plus head and hand gestures , to avoid the suggestion of three-hour as a constituent at that point.

Three tests are administered, in which aspects of pitch trajectories analysed as allphonic in the phonemic system turn out to have more importance than the supposedly phonemic distinctions; the second of these tests finds that upglides and upskips in a sequence that Trager & Smith (1951) would presumably transcribe /32||/ are categorically distinguished.

To spring or skip up.

With rags and leathers in his hands Upskips be ostentatiously; Anon he at the summit stands, And window cleans vivaciously.

Come tumbling on to steal And gorge and gorge and gorge do bumble bees, Which, stalwart strong, rob ; while, praying some service, Upskips the weakly butterfly whose purse The good she does not get repays.
