The letter ^ whether written or inherent in the consonant, has been expressed
in the transliteration by o, as ^ cWt = p6 ; ^-K^^J = Kangton. I have preferred
this sig-n rather than the a (without the diacritical mark) which is commonly used
in expressing the sound of this vowel, because it is a truer representation of the
actual sound in the Mikir syllables where it occurs.
It has not been found necessary, as will be seen above, to use all the letters
of the Bengali Alphabet, and but very rarely the forms § = t and ^ = th.
There is a " \" somid in the Mikir as in English, which I have expressed by
the sign ^.
Excepting a small collection of Mikir words in MS. by Revs. Messrs. Tolman and
Scott of this Mission, this is the first attempt towards an extended collection of
Mikir words, and great pains have been taken to ensure accuracy. The syllable
" po" (c^) which occurs in the Mikir equivalent of every English verb in the
Vocabidary, is the first person singular, present tense ending of the verb. A col-
lection of Mikir and English phrases illustrating the use of words, and the
construction of sentences is given at the end of the Vocabulary, as well also as a
list of Numerals,
