Komanized Geogi'aphical Names of Korea ' by Koto and Kanazawa. 

 I wish here to draw the attention of readers to the use of the two 

 letters, y and li. 



!/• 



When preceded by s or ch, the y is mute ; as in syang or cJiyang, 

 which may be spelled or pronounced equally well as sang or chang. 



h. 



The reduplicated h, as in cJtJd (a pass), merely signifies an in- 

 tensification of the same sound, and may be expressed by an apostrophe 

 [ ' ] ; e. g. cIl'i, and cKon for clihif and chhon. 



Japanese measure of length 1 ri = 3927.27 meters.
