- ↑ N.B.ーConsonants all pronounced as in Chinese, the romanization being on the system of my Mandarin Primer; the vowels are also on the same principle,ーof a certain definite unchangeable value, the u always pro-nounced as in fun, oo and w standing for the other value of u. Corean o final more open than o in English long, its nearest approximation, iw always like ew of new, few. The double vowels o and a, form wa, oo and u, wu (wo rm), a and i, e of let, u and i, a of lame, which I write ê for precision.
