Introduction

Table III. Finals, as modified by tones.

Note. The eng initial is placed at the head of this table. It denotes the absence of any initial consonant, and therefore gives the simplest form of all the finals through each tone. Hence all words spoken without and initial consonant, are classed under this initial.
