 Ordinary Spelling. The invention of writing, the greatest and most important which 



the human mind hath ever made. 

 German (with the acute accent). Di eorfindung dear shrift, di grooeste und 



bhichtijhste bhealche yee dear meanshliche geist gemakht nat. 

 Rougher Approximation. Di erfind'ung der shrift, di grooest-e und vikht'ighste 



velkh'e yee der mensh'likhe gaist gemakht- hat. 

 Ordinary Spelling. Die Erfindung der Schrift, die groesste und wichtigste welche je 



der menschliche Geist gemacht hat.

K-an'noa poatean-tsa di faTea-altru-i ma'leo. 

 Observe ue stands for u-e, or the diphthong of u and e as distinct from tie or ii, and

K-an-no paoteirtsa di faare-altruu i maa'le.

 Ordinary Spelling. Croire tout decouvert est une erreur profonde, 



C'est prendre I'horizon pour les bornes du monde. 

 These various styles may be mixed at pleasure, but double consonants must always 

 be separated by the stop or accent, thus ajvnoa or dn,noe, as dnnoa would represent a 

 single dental u, giving a very different sound.
