a'pepof/*' in the winter-time 150.5 (a'pepd(7 70.10; 136.3 is the same

 at end; also §§12, 42]) 



As ^ the small number of initial stems given by Dr. Jones seems to 

 me to be rather out of proportion to their importance, I take the 

 liberty of inserting here a hundred odd new examples taken from his 

 Fox Texts, arranged in the order of the English alphabet. For this 

 purpose a, a, a, a, a, follow each other in this order. I would remind 

 the reader that there is considerable fluctuation in these vowels, 

 especially between a and a: a and a. The variation of a and a is 

 slight; that of a and a does not seem to occur. The sound pro- 

 nounced was undoubtedly the same in any given fluctuation; Dr. 

 Jones simply has recorded the sounds as he heard them at a given 

 time. Examples follow: 



a'tetcd- distant.
