[Mr. Grierson wishes to explain, that he has put the sign on on his own 
responsibility, on the analogy of the pronunciation of the word in neighbouring dia- 
lects. He has not been able to satisfy himself on the oorrect pronunciation of this 
root in Chhattisgarh, and tho sign is inserted subjeot to subsequent correction. The 
Weaning of the sign is that is pronounced something like the English word “ haw,” 
while the ^ in ^ without the 5 would be pronounced like the hu in “ hurry.” The 
sign will be omitted, as doubtful, in the selections to be subsequently published. Ed.]
