4. The semivowel ®<& ai is unknown to the Pali, as it is 

 to the Singhalese. When we therefore take Sanscrit words 

 in which this letter occurs, and compare them with their cor- 

 responding Pali and Singhalese words, we obtain the same 

 results to which we have already adverted ; as for example : 



San. Pali. Sin.

5. The results are precisely the same when we compare 

 Sanscrit words in which the semivowel oio @v§)i occurs with 

 their corresponding words in the Pali and Singhalese, in 

 which this vowel sound is entirely lost. Thus, for instance,
