HINDUSTANEE STABLE AND VETERI- 

 NARY VOCABULARY. 



The following, with the exception of names of diseases, 

 colours, and some technical expressions, are words of 

 common use in the stable which any syce will under- 

 stand. In order to render the pronunciation easy to 

 those unacquainted with the language, I have written 

 the vowels as they are pronounced in the following 

 words : 



a as in 



star" 



" ecarte 

 " kin " 



oo as in 



ow 



7 



poor 



town 



o as in " tore " 

 u " fun " 

 u " pull " 



n should be pronounced like the French nasal n, as 

 in " mon." The Hindee letters t, d, and r are pronounced 

 hard as in English, and the th, dh, and rh like what 

 these letters would sound if aspirated ; kh and gh stand 

 for these two guttural letters in Arabic.
