402 ANALYTIC ORTHOGRAPHY. 
CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONS. 
§181la. In some languages, pb, td, cg, are used indifferently, and as we employ (‘’) for 
sonant and surd, it may be necessary to have a p, ¢, ¢, f, or surmounted by (¥) to 
indicate this indifference. In Baraga’s Otchipwe Dictionary, it is directed that words not 
found under p, ¢, &, are to be looked for under 6, d, g, and the reverse. 
§ 369, above € Suab., ‘e Coptic’ may be inserted. 
§ 624, 12th word, the vowel after 7 is not nasal (as marked) but whispered. 
§ 379, note. At Covent Garden Theatre we heard pass, glass, man, with the vowel of 
fat lengthened, and passed, flaunt, can’t. Mr. Kean, at the Princesses’ Theatre, used 
the vowel of fat in France. ; 
Whilst the foregoing pages show the extent to which the Latin and Greek alphabets 
may be used, they exhibit at the same time a number of undesirable forms, which may 
be avoided by selections from the various types (whether in use or rejected,) published 
in Mr. Isaac Pitman’s Phonetic Journal, at Bath, England. The rejected letters amount 
to 110, of which about one-half are capitals. All of these are accessible in long primer, 
and most of them are in perfect harmony with the Roman alphabet. On the other 
hand, the letters of American origin are in the aggregate badly formed, and cut without 
taste or skill. The fact that our own illustrations have been taken from about seventy 
languages or dialects—of which a somewhat minute notation has been made—renders 
it obvious that the alphabet of any single language must require a much less complicated 
symbolisation.
