What is the difference between emphatic pronoun and reflexive pronoun?
An emphatic pronoun is an appositive to a noun or another pronoun and emphasizes the importance of the noun or the antecedent of the pronoun. A reflexive pronoun fills some function in the sentence, usually a direct or indirect object, different from that of the noun or pronoun pronoun to which it refers. Example as intensive: "I will feed the dog myself" or "I myself will feed the dog" connotes that the speaker or writer believes in his or her own importance, reliability, or special competence, while "Even with an injured arm, I can feed myself" does not. The latter is an example of a genuinely reflexive pronoun, in which the pronoun in question is the direct object of the verb in the sentence, not a mere appositive to the subject "I".
How many syllables does the word cried have?
One?
No, two. If it were spelled "cride", like "chide" it would be one. But just as "beloved" has three in the still familiar "dearly belovéd" as it is pronounced by preachers at funerals, and has also been pronounced "belov'd" even since Shakespeare's time if the occasion or the meter of the line of poetry demands it, yet is still three syllables, so "cried" is two syllables long.
In modern English, the vowel in the second syllable of "cried" is a schwa (a German spelling - pronounced "shva"), which is the phonetic name used by linguistics (actually a Hebrew vowel) for the shortest vowel sound. In Hebrew, the schwa can have a very short e sound, as in "Belinda"; or it can have no sound at all - merely a place holder, as between the B and the l of "Blanche".
In Hebrew, only consonants are written, except in scholarly or biblical texts. In those latter cases, every consonant has vowel points attached; those with no vowel sound following have "sheva" or as the German philologists spell it, "schwa".
