CORRECTED THIRD PERSEPOLITAN ALPHABET. | 
Characters in the first division of each class regularly represent the consonants belonging to it followed by 
e(:); and those in the second the consonants followed by a (-). Values different from those are annexed to the 
characters which admit them. ad. denotes “always”; and if it be not used, “sometimes” is understood. in. 
signifies “when initial”; ji. “when final”; and ab. “by abbreviation”. * is prefixed to characters which are 
sometimes used as non-phonetic initials; and { to labials and gutturals, which, when not accompanied by equivalent 
characters, combine with the preceding vowel; sometimes when it is an a, and always when it is an e ; the former 
becoming @ (r) or é(..); the latter # (1) or 7 (%.). When dissimilar consonants, both followed by e, meet, the 
latter is mute, as it also is, for the most part, after a.
