LANGUAGE OF AWA AND PAC HAIN. I53 



proper to obferve here, that, like the Hindi, there is a 

 flight nafality perceivable in the pronunciation of fome 

 words for which there is no fymbol. 



The diphthongs of din and aih are permuted with e 

 and e when inflecting ny, y\ and the whole clafs of 

 apEn] as nfert, nyen, &c. and din, when inflecting thofe 

 letters with wcdfhws fufpended, and the clafs apah- 

 wacb'bwe; as uyweh, &c. This laft nafal, by an 

 anomaly not to be accounted for, is very often writ- 

 ten for e. 



auh, aim. 



Thefe compounds, formed of the -firft and fifth 

 vowels and guttural nafal, clofe the three ferie's of 

 vowels and nafal marks, and with them the abecedary 

 rules of this language. 



There is, however, one obfervation more requifite, that 

 could not have been introduced before without inconve- 

 nience, and which has therefore been referved for this 

 place, c confidered in its Jyllabic initial capacity, in 

 its inflections of arwi and asaiihe with iv'Ub'bzve 

 fufpended, is preceded by the fourth vowel, which, in 

 this inftance only, forms the fymbol for wacfrbwe. 

 The notation, therefore, for this deviation fhould be 

 as follows: oa, oa, oa',oac t oah y oaii\ o y i> 6*1; o'e o'e; o y ciii y 

 ti%t$,<taih y oain, o'aim; o* aicfi, o*M, o"a\ii i (fain. There 

 is a farther deviation obfervable in the firft fix, the pri- 

 mary vowel being changed in the prefent cafe into the 

 Ample element, with which the incipient letter coa- 

 lefces into a diphthong. In the red, the initial vowel 

 is articulated feparately, as the comma between indi- 

 cates. As for u, u; ao 3 ao-, o y o, they retain the fame 

 found, as has been already obferved, either with or 

 without wacb'bwe.
