The great multitude of Tibetan words, however, which are adopted 
in the Boo-nan language can be divided into two classes: 1, those in | 
which the present Boo-nan pronunciation agrees with the Tibetan 
spelling, 1. e. the ancient Tibetan pronunciation, though this pronun- 
ciation is not preserved in the Tibetan of Lahoul itself, in many cases 
not even in Ladak, perhaps in some instances not anywhere else. 
The Boo-nan people themselves, whenever they speak Tibetan, use the 
modern pronunciation according to the custom of Lahoul, which often — 
widely differs from the written letters. ~ 
2. Those words in which the Boo-nan pronunciation agrees with 
the modern Tibetan. 
To No. 1 belong: 
Kres, hunger, in modern Lahoulee, Tibetan unknown.
