Between nos. 63 and 64 of the survey is to be inserted 

 С R. Lepsius: Standard Alphabet for reducing unwritten 

 languages and foreign graphic systems to a uniform orthography 

 in European letters (2. ed., London and Berlin 1863), in which 

 Greenlandic is treated (pp. 289 — 291) and where there is a 

 review of Kleinschmidt' s orthography.

A series of articles from the magazine Atuagagdliiitit have 

 been translated into English by H. Rink and are included in 

 his "Danish Greenland, its People and its Products". London 

 1877, pp. 230—267.

W bile there is no doubt that к t i^ occur sometimes with 

 and sometimes without strong aspiration in Greenlandic, yet it 

 may be difficult to determine in which words or cases these 

 sounds are aspirated. In remarking that the aspiration is found 

 before the vowels i e п., I do not mean that we always find 

 it or that we find it in all words before these vowels. I have 

 — perhaps too hastily — formulated a general rule or "law" on 

 the basis of occasional cases, it is perhaps necessary to 

 systematize the cases in some other way — if they can be 

 systematized at all.

\y\ This sound has some resemblance to the German ich- 

 sound and differs from the ach-sound in that it lacks the uvular 

 friction. Its place of articulation is therefore probably farther 

 forward in the mouth than I had determined, though not as far 

 forward as is the case with the German ich-sound. I estimate 

 its field of variation to lie between /-' and y^'^^«\ 



There is a similar difference in articulation between the 

 [g]-sound and the fricative in German "Tage". 



The Gr, |^]-sound on the other hand has the uvular fric- 

 tion in a high degree and might be described as an exaggerated 

 German ach-sound [y'^^].
