PHONETIC GUIDE 
1. All vowels are to be given their continental values. 
2. Superior n (") gives a nasal modification to the preceding vowel. 
3. A consonant sound approximating the German ch is shown 
by hi. 
4. A lengthened vowel is shown by doubling, e. g. buude, pakskiisu, 
ete. 
5. Unless indicated as a diphthong, vowels do not unite in sound,
