[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for readers who cannot use the "real" (unicode,
utf-8) version of the file or even the simplified Latin-1 form. Letters
that could not be shown accurately have been "unpacked" and shown in
brackets:

['] syllable stress (angled line similar t acute accent)
[-A] [-a] [-e] ... vowel with macron
[vA] [va] [ve] ... vowel with breve _or_ hacek (see below)
[.z] dot above letter
[eo] e with small ring _under_ it
['a] ['e] ['s] ... [^a] [^e] ... [`a] [`e] letter with accent
(acute, circumflex, grave; accents on European names are generally
not marked)
[:a] letter with dieresis or umlaut
[t_] [l_] underlined letter
[ch] (Greek) chi
[K] [S] [k] [t] upside-down letters
[n] small superscript n
c with cedilla and n with tilde have been reduced to c and 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].]
