1. The spelling of this word jawafan is somewhat ambiguous, and the 

 word is sometimes pronounced juaian by ignorant persons, but this spell- 

 ing agrees with Kule (5) {e). 



2. Many Malays spell the affirmative monosyllable yh in the same 

 way as the two-syllable pronoun in. Hut this spelling seems better. 



3. To distinguish 6u£oA from &o/e/i, it is better to insert the wau in the 

 last syllable of this word, through contrary to Kule (oj (■•/).
