[Transcriber's Note: Letters that could not be expressed in latin-1 characters have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets: [-A][-a][-e][-i][-o][-u] vowel with macron [vA][va][ve][vi][vu] breve or hacek (see below*) [.z] dot above letter [e��] e with small ring under it [��s][��g][��C] letter with accent [t_][l_] underlined letter [ch] (Greek) chi [K][S][k][t] upside-down letters [n] small superscript n Where this "unpacking" results in an unreadable word, a simplified form has been added in brackets with an asterisk: [*Unugun].
* In the printed text it is not clear whether the author intended hacek (Unicode "caron", angled) or breve (curved). Breve was used in the utf-8 versions of this document, as it is phonetically plausible and the characters are more widely available. Hacek is used here because the bracketed form [va] is less ambiguous visually than the breve [)a].]
