FOOTNOTES:

[1] As a guide to the English-speaking reader, the following notes on
the pronunciation of Bohemian names are appended. The Czech (Cech)
alphabet is the same as the English, with the omission of the letters
q, w and x. Certain letters, however, vary in pronunciation, and are
distinguished by diacritical marks, a device orginated by John Huss.
The vowels a, e, i, (y), o, u, are pronounced as in Italian; but e =
Eng. ye in "yet," and [ou] = Eng. oo.

The consonants, b, d, f, k, l, m, n, p, r, v, z, are as in English; g
= Eng. g in "gone"; s = Eng. initial s. But n = Span. n (in _canon_);
r = rsh; s = sh; z = zh (i.e. the French j); k before d = g; v before
k, p, s, t = f. Of the other consonants c = Eng. ts; c = ch; ch =
Germ. ch; j = Eng. y, but is not pronounced before d, m, s. Accents
on vowels lengthen them; on d and t they are softening marks. H is
always pronounced in Czech. At the end of words and before k and t it
= Germ, ch; in other places, as in _bahno_ (morass) its pronunciation
is somewhat softer.
