Thse are all instances of an original @, changed to 6 by a following 
u, and the pronunciation is hence the same as that described on 
page 290. 
When non-original dis followed by 2-matra it is pronounced like a (6). 
It is also so written. 
The real fact is, however, that this i-matra only 
occurs in masc. plurals, in the singular of which the 6 was followed 
by u-matra. Thus mile kron”, a relation, nom. pl. Ia kran‘. But this 
6 in krén, itself is not sitet The base is MT# kran-, and owing to the 
following u-mdira, the @in the nominative becomes, and is written 6. 
See under a, page 289. To say that 6 followed by 7-matra becomes @, is 
merely to repeat, less accurately, the statement that @ followed by 
i-matra becomes d@. Further examples are therefore unnecessary. A 
number can be made from the list given on page 290. For the same 
reason, every 0 followed by w-matrd represents an original @, for examples 
of which see page 290. 
_ As regards 0 followed by %-matra, exactly the same remarks apply. 
Every instance is really one of @, not 0, followed by «-matra.
