A long vowel is indicated by the sign [ : ] placed after it, 

 but it should be remarked that the vov/els here, as in other 

 Australian languages, differ rather in quality than in quan- 

 tity; that is to say, they are distinguished rather by their 

 articulation than by their length. The stressed or accented 

 syllable is indicated by the sign ['] placed before it; so that, 

 for example, the accentuation of the English words "instance" 

 and "exact" would be shown thus ['instans, eg'zgekt]. 



Of the consonants it need only be said that j = English ?/ 

 in "young"; y] = rig in "singer"; d — fh in "thin."
