UNDER RULE III.—­OF DOUBLING.

“Friz, to curl; frized, curled; frizing, curling.”—­Webster’s Dict., 8vo.  Ed. of 1829.

[FORMULE—­Not proper, because the words “frized” and “frizing” are here spelled with the single z, of their primitive friz.  But, according to Rule 3d, “Monosyllables, and words accented on the last syllable, when they end with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, double their final consonant before an additional syllable that begins with a vowel.”  Therefore, this z should be doubled; thus, frizzed, frizzing.]
