(p. 25) Transcriber‘s Note: Typographical errors have been corrected, and inconsistent spellings regularized. For details, please see the End Notes. The original versions of any corrections may be viewed as mouseover text. The numbered tables are provided with hyperlinks to the respective Notes supplied in Appendix I. In Appendix II, there are a number of letters (m, n, u, v, r, t) that are printed with a backward curl, usually at the end of a word, but sometimes in mid-word. These are rendered here as: m -> 'ᶆ',n -> 'ɳ', u -> 'ư', t -> 'ȶ', r -> 'ɽ' v -> 'ⱱ' These forms are intended to provide a visual indication of a letter‘s form, from the available set of unicode characters, but are not intended to convey phonetic value. The letter 'p' appears with a curl that crosses the lower bar, which is rendered here as 'ᵱ'. A doubled 'l' with a tilde across the middle is rendered as 'l̴l'.
