nly _oerroe_ is distinctly repeated in the tenth week. On the seventy-first day, the child being in the most comfortable condition, there comes the new combination, _ra-a-ao_, and, five days later, in a hungry and uncomfortable mood, _nae_, and then _n[=a]i-n_. The manifest sign of contentment was very distinct (on the seventy-eighth day): _habu_, and likewise in the twelfth week _a-i_ and _u[=a]o_, as well as _ae-o-a_, alternating with _ae-a-a_, and _o-ae-oe_. It now became more and more difficult to represent by letters the sounds, already more varied, and even to distinguish the vowels and repeat them accurately. The child cries a good deal, as if to exercise his respiratory muscles. To the sounds uttered while the child is lying comfortably are added in the fourteenth week _ntoe_, _ha_. The last was given with an unusually loud cry, with distinct aspiration of the _h_, though with no indication that the child felt any particular pleasure. At this period I heard besides repeatedly _loe_, _na_, the latter along with screaming at disagreeable impressions more and more frequently and distinctly; in the fifteenth week, _nannana_, _n[=a]-n[=a]_, _nanna_ in refusal. On the other hand, the earlier favorite _oerroe_ has not been heard at all for some weeks. Screaming while waiting for his food to be prepared (milk and water) or for the nurse, who had not sufficient nourishment for the child, is marked, in the sixteenth week--as is also screaming on account of unpleasant feelings--in general by predominance of the vowels, _ae-[)u]_, _ae-[)u] ae_, _[=a]-[)u]_, _[=a]-[)u]_, _[)u]-ae_, _[)u]-ae_, _[=u]-[=u]-[=a]-oe_, but meantime is heard _amme-a_, and as a sign of special discomfort the persistent ill-sounding _[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]_ (_[)u]_ = Eng. _[=oo]_). Screaming in the first five months expresses itself in the main by the vowels _u_, _ae_, _oe_, _a_, with _ue_ and _o_ occurring more seldom, and without other consonants, for the most part, than _m_. In the fifth month no new consonants were developed except _k_; but a merely passive _goe_, _koe_, _aggegg[)e]koe_, the last more rarely than the first, was heard with perfect distinctness during the child's yawning. While in this case the _g_-sound originates passively, it was produced, in connection with _oe_, evidently by the position of the tongue, when the child was in a contented frame, as happens in nursing; _oegoe_ was heard in the twenty-secon
