CONTINUED EXPOSITION OF THE PRINCIPLES AND METHOD 

 OF ALWASO WOKD-BUILDING. 



157. In order to a further expansion of the results of 

 what has been previously shown, it will be requisite, 

 now, in part to recall, and in part to state anew, certain 

 preliminary considerations : 1. The Diphthong^ au, 

 (pronounced ah-oo) may be adjoined to each Conso- 

 nant-Sound, as a Yowel-stem such as is necessary to a 

 full exhibit of the Consonant value (92, 94, 109, 126.) 

 This has been already done, in a preliminary man- 

 ner. 2. It must be known that each Consonant- 

 Sound has, first a Direct Value or Meaning (such 

 mainly as has been shown in the preceding Tables), and, 

 then, an Inverse, Counter-, or Reflected Value or Mean- 

 ing according as the Consonant precedes or follows 

 the Vowel-Stem. Thus, auk is the Inversion or 

 Counter-presentation of kau. The Consonant has, in 

 other words, a Final Volne, which is the opposite of 

 its Initial Value. 3. It is to be observed that each 

 Root-word which has in it the Diphthong au (ah-oo) 

 or iau (ee-ah-oo), that is to say, a* representing lie
