ABSTRACT
Table 1 represents the result of examining over 550 correspondences. Down the left side are arranged all MK vowels, the pairs of vowels produced on the two registers being kept together in accordance with the written symbol with which they are now spelt, since the written tradition is held to represent a development which has taken place from a time when the surd and sonant initial consonants genuinely represented surd and sonant initials and the vowel-symbols did not yet represent vowels diverging according to register. In each slot is placed one or more vowelsymbols, representing PA spellings found in the correspondences. An asterisk indicates that the only examples available are names. For symbols without an asterisk, established correspondences are offered. The Appendix gives as far as possible two examples for each vowel-symbol in the table, reading from left to right.
