[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for readers who cannot use the "real" (unicode, utf 8) version of the file. Letters that could not be shown accurately have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets:

[ A] [ a] [ e] [ i] [ o] [ u] vowel with macron [vA] [va] [ve] [vi] [vu] vowel with breve or hacek (see below) [.z] dot above letter [e°] e with small ring under it [´s] [´g] [´C] consonant 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].]
