glotta ; the Basque is derived from the dictionaries of Van Eys and 
Lecluse. It will be observed that the Lesghian almost invariably 
differs from the Basque :— 
1. In substituting m for initial 4. 
2. In dispensing with initial vowels ; or, when they cannot be dis- 
pensed with, in prefixing to them 6 or y, ¢ or d. 
3. In generally rendering the Basque aspirate, together with ch and 
g, by the correspondingly harder forms g, & and q. 
4. In occasionally adding final / or r. 
(The last named letters 7 and r are interchangeable in the Khitan 
as they are in all other families of speech.)
