GATSCHET KAS. LEG. — LIST OF SOUNDS, ETC. [39] 7 



For permutations of sounds among each other, observe that d 

 alternates with /, b with /, ^ with k^ y ; o with a, .y with sh^ 

 tch with ts^ dsh^ ds. Remember this well when using the glos- 

 saries. 



The English x is rendered by gs or ks^ the German z by ds or 

 ts^ all being compound articulations. The two points on a {a) 

 mark a softened vowel, and are no^ a sign of diaeresis.
