_lagn_ " schlagen (strike). _runtergeluckt_ " heruntergeschluckt (swallowed). _einteign_ " einsteigen (get in). On the other hand, _aus-teign_ (Aussteigen) (alight). Other defects of articulation are shown by the following examples: _topf_ for klopfen (knock). _ueffte_ " lueften (take the air). _leben_ " kleben (adhere). _viloa, viloja,_ " Viola. _dummi_ " Gummi (gum). The _l mouille_ can not be at all successfully given at the beginning of this month (_bat[)e]l[=o]n_ for "bataillon"), and the nasal sounds in "orange" and "salon" offer insuperable difficulties (up to the second half of the fourth year). At the end of this month, however, I heard a _ganzee bataljohn_ (_j_ like English _y_). "Orange" continued to be, after _oraanjee_ had been given up, _orohs[)e]_. The softening (mouilliren--_nj_ = _n_) was inconvenient in this case. Quite correctly named at this period were eye, nose, cheek, tongue, mouth, ear, beard, hair, arm, thumb, finger. Meaningless chatter has become much more rare. On the other hand, the child is in the habit of making all sorts of remarks, especially in the morning early after waking, for a quarter of an hour at a time and longer without interruption, these remarks for the most part consisting of a noun and verb and relating to objects immediately about him. Monologues also are given in a singing voice, syllables without meaning, often a regular singing, the child meantime running many times around the table; besides, his strong voice is not seldom practiced in producing high tones without any outward occasion; and, finally, it is worthy of note that sometimes in sleep, evidently when the child has a vivid dream, a scream is uttered. Talking in his sleep first appeared in his fourth year. The greatest advance in the twenty-ninth month consists in the employment of the personal pronoun in place of his own name: _bitte gib mir Brod_ (please give me bread) was the first sentence in which it appeared. "Ich" (I) is not yet said, but if I ask "Who is 'me'?" then the child names himself with his own name, as he does in general. Through this employment, more and more frequent from this time forth, of the pronoun instead of the proper name, is gradually introduced the inflection of the verbs he has heard; but at this time the imperative has its place generally supplied by the
