(5) The Chukchee l and l are replaced by a sonant sound produced 

 by contact between the tip of the tongue and the upper teeth and 

 between the back of the tongue and the palate. The sound is con- 

 tinued, and accompanied by a slight trill of the back of the tongue. 

 Although this sound replaces both l and L of Chukchee, I have 

 retained for it the second Chukchee symbol, i. 



(6) The Chukchee r is replaced in Koryak I by y, which, with pre- 

 ceding vowels, forms diphthongs. * 



The y of the Koryak is always pronounced with a raising of the 

 tip of the tongue, which gives it a somewhat sibilant, strongly as- 

 pirated effect. In Paren it sounds sometimes almost like t.
