There you are, readers! Make good cheer of it, as Panurge said of what
was beyond him. For what this language really is passeth me and mine.
Of Celtic origin it surely is, for Owen gave me every syllable so
garnished with gutturals that I, being even less of one of the Celtes
than a Chinaman, have not succeeded in writing a single word according to
his pronunciation of it. Thus even Minklers sounds more like _minkias_,
or _pikias_, as he gave it.

Hain, or heen One.
Do Two.
