364 ANALYTIC ORTHOGRAPHY. 
512. Lepsius represents Polish rz by 7°, Ellis by ‘jy’ with the appendage or projection of 
‘r’ an excellent character, to which the surd mark (") might be added when necessary. 
We propose, for ordinary type r, 1, for sonant and surd, to the latter of which we think 
Mr. Ellis’s key word przez (= pre 3,) belongs, owing to the influence of the surd p. If 
there is no aspiration, its mark must be supprest. 
513. There is no guttural 7, all the foregoing being made strictly in the anterior part of 
the mouth. But in dialectic German and French trilled 7 is replaced (by otosis) with a 
vibrant guttural, which is as far from 7 as German ch is from s.

514. Every consideration, philosophic and practic, requires that English sh (r) and French 
J (3) should have distinct characters, and that these sounds should not be considered as 
having an aspirate or other affinity with s,z. § 58. Our characters are as distinct as ‘b, 
d, and they have not been chosen that they may recall Latin 8, J. Moreover, were it 
necessary to use a pointed ‘s’ either for cor %, we would prefer it for the latter, as less 
likely to outrage affinities. The character ‘{? was proposed by Volney in 1818, ‘3’ by 
Ellis in 1856, and both were used by us in 1846.*

516. Among the worst of these and other forms, are those which were intended to recall 
the erroneous English notation, or to convey the impression, that f has some aspirate 
relation to s, § 58. Still worse is the desecration of Latin Cay. 
517. The Sanscrit 3, according to Wilkins, ‘‘is produced by applying the tip of the 
tongue to the fore part of the palate, and passing the voice as in pronouncing our s.”
