[Transcriber's Note:
The original text used accented characters to indicate pronunciation. This 7 bit version has been produced using the following markup scheme.

The accented character and the symbol representing the accent are surrounded with square brackets. If the symbol is placed in front of the character, the accent goes above the character. If the symbol is placed after the character, the accent goes below the character. If there is more than one character inside the brackets, the accent applies to all of them.
