^.VPL^iV/iT0i27 NOTES. 



(1) These letters are not differentiated in Dene. (2) - is the nasal n. (3) 2 

 is the French y. (4) s is phonetically intermediate between $ and s. 



The vowels as in Italian, except ce as the e in Fr. je, te. — The r of Kr, Kr 

 is hardly perceptible, n, jy are very guttural. R is the result of uvular vibra- 

 tions. Kh, Th =k+h, t-\-h. Q almost = ty. /^ is a peculiarly sibilant I. The 

 dot accompanying consonants represents the exploding sound (rendered by { in- 

 corporated in the signs). -■" is prefixed to proper names, and o is suffixed to 

 syllables the vowel of which it is necessary to render long. The rest as in Engl.
