lander what I wanterl liini to (b», I used, especially in llie 

 beginning:, a "stretcher" in t)ie sliape of a little bone peg, 

 which was placed between the upper and lower front teetli in 

 order to support the jaws, and to keep them at the same dis- 

 tance from each other while the word was pronounced. 



Through these observations of the sounds of the language, 

 I have in each single case been enabled to determine the manner 

 of articulation, especially as far as the consonants are concerned, 

 and immediately to indicate it analphabetically on the corres- 

 ponding list along side of the key-word employed. — In addi- 

 tion to the lists which I used for determining the vowels and 

 consonants of the language, 1 had other lists where I wrote 

 down my observations with respect to quantity and stress in 

 Greenlandic, together with some few rhythmical and musical 

 peculiarities. 



My experiments in connection with the lists were made 

 with 20 Greenlanders from the various places which I visited.
