It is also important to know that si represents a voiced/unvoiced pair: the unvoiced /sh/ as in recession and the voiced /ZH/ as in division.

The Latin spellings of /sh/ are one of the most valuable spelling tools. We can often determine which Latin spelling of /sh/ will be used in a particular word by considering the root word. Study the words in the following charts. The patterns are amazing.

Notice that when a root word ends in t, the phonogram ti is formed in the derivatives. The parallel occurs in words ending in c where the phonogram ci is formed and words ending in s, which form the si phonogram in the derivatives.
