R, r | (ro) as in English, but sounded _much more |
| forcibly_, and always _with a trill_ as in |
| singing; as _korpo_ (kohr'po) | r
| |
S, s | (so) like _s_ in _say_, as _suno_ |
| (soo'noh), and *never* as _s_ in _rose_; as |
| _pesi_ (peh'see) | s, ss
| |
Sx, sx | (sho) like _sh_ in _show_, _she_; as |
| _sxipo_ (shee'poh) | sh
| |
T, t | (to) as in English, but dentally--with tip |
| of tongue placed on back of teeth instead |
| of on front ridge of roof of mouth | t
| |
U, u | (oo) like _oo_ in _boot_, as _nubo_ |
| (*noo'*boh); and *never* as _u_ in _mute_ |
| or _but_ | oo
| |
Ux, ux | (wo) is equivalent to the English _w_, and |
| is produced by a _partial bringing |
| together_ of the lips. It practically only | w,
| occurs after _a_ or _e_ | [)o][)o]
| |
| (1) _Aux_. To say _antaux_, for instance, |
| say "ahn'tah," and finish by bringing the |
| lips slightly together to pronounce the |
| _ux_ (_w_). Similarly for _lauxta_ |
| (lah'w-tah). This sound is not exactly the |
| English _ou_ in _house_, but is just the |
| _au_ in the German _Haus_. The phonetic |
| sign for _aux_, therefore is | ahw
| |
| (2) _Eux_, as in _Euxropo_ (ehw-ro'poh), is |
| pronounced with a similar closing of the |
| lips after the _eh-_sound | ehw
| |
V, v | (vo) as in English
