II. INDEX OF JAPANESE NAMES. 



In writing Japanese names the prevailing phonetic method, as given in Hepburn's 

 Dictionary, has been generally followed. According to this the vowels are pronounced 

 clear — as in German — like ai. Further, ei as e, ch as tsch, j as dsch, s sharp, sh as sch, 

 is as 2, z as s, y as/, ai, ei and 8 from a precedent contraction are long. On account 

 of the accent many compound words are divided by hyphens, which are often written 

 without them. As a rule the accent falls on the first syllable — as well on the first as 

 the concluding word, with a somewhat stronger accent on tlje first full-toned syllable. 

 The commonly joining particle " no " is half-tone. A declination of the accent is marked 

 with an acute. Ho-no-ki is read as Honoki, Tsubaki-no-abura as Tsubaki-noabura, 

 Hasii-no-hana as Hasunohanna, Nikkei as Nikke, Mei-butsu as Mebutsu.
