on Igbo pronunciation.

I. The following types are generally admitted in the Igbo ortho-

graphy, namely: a, a, b, c, d, e, ë f, g", h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, o, o,

p, r, s, t, u, w, y, z.

As a general rule, every letter or combination of letters, I'epre-

sents the same sound on all circumstances.

IL Vowels. The vowels have always the same sound, thus:

a sounds always as a in «mat»

e " - „ ■ „ e „ «fate»

i „ „ Î „ «is»

0 „ „ 0 „ «hole»

u „ „ „ u „ «put»

Remark. The vowels (a), e, o. u can have a sharp or a

grave sound.

III. Consonants. All the consonants, with the exception of

h, have the same sound as in EngUsh. — The aspirate «h» is only

used to form the compounds «gh» and «sh».

Remark. The consonants g, s and t have always the hard

sounds as in the words «good», «sell» and «tei'mitate».

IV. Compound consonants. The compound consonants are

of a frequent use in the Igbo language. They are six, namely:

kp, gb, ^h, sh, n.

In kp the k must be considered as modifying the consonant p ;

thus kp in ok pu, hat.

Qh has ratlier the sound of a strong b, uttered with an effort

of the lips.

Oh are throat letters. It is by trying to utter ç h in the throat

that the right sound is given; thus ^halu, leave.

Ç has the sharp sound of ch in «cherry» v. g. Çiiku, God.

Sh has the sound of sh- in « sheet ». Ashilisha, a kind of fruit.

S" is the équivale ntof ng in German. It has the guttural sound

of in «Engel». i

V. ]Nasal isounds. The vowels a, e, o are frequently ac-

companied by a nasal sound, when followed by the consonant n*

Thus awu, sun; ewe, monkey; own, death.

Yl. ïiliisioii. As a general rule it may be stated that elision

nearly always takes place when two vowels come together; thus if*

odjo (for ife odjo) evil.

EUsion does not take place in the following cases:

1. When euphony does not admit it.

2. When through its use, the meaning of the word would have

to suffer.
