4. The unaccented _i_ in _systir_, etc. (which is generally
written _e_ in the MSS.) probably had the sound of _y_ in _pity_,
which is really between _i_ and _e_. The unacc. _u_ in _f??ru_
(they went), etc. (which is generally written _o_ in the MSS.)
probably had the sound of _oo_ in _good_.
Note that several of the vowels go in pairs of _close_ and
_open_, thus:
close : e ?“ o ?? ?¶ ?“
open : ?™ ?¦ ?« - ?«?? -
Consonants
5. Double consonants followed by a vowel must be pronounced
really double, as in Italian.
