\ shall try to give a short sketch of the chief phonetical 

 peculiarities of the Greenlandic dialects so far as 1 have been 

 enabled to get information about them*). 



The stock of sounds found in the phonetical analysis of 

 the language (v. p. 81) seems to prevail throughout the whole 

 of West Greenland except in the Upernawik District, where 

 three of the long aspirated fricatives are absent; the fourth, the 

 /-sound is possibly modified in more cases than in the one 

 which 1 noted down (v. p. 192), but it occurs in a great many 

 words which I took note of in Upernawik^ so it does not seem 

 to have had the same fate as the related sounds [p у (p, among 

 which, however, it would always occupy a peculiar position). 



*) With respect to the musical accent, I shall simply refer to \\\\&\. 1 have 

 said about that subject in ? 22.
