They are alphabetized frow the end of the word workin:'.: forward. Hence, saxa pre-cedes jexa, since the letter~ precedes the letter~, workin~ fro,11 the end of the word forward. A vocabulary arran:-:ed in this way can serve at least two purposes. It can be used to alic;n words endiuc in the sau1e phones -13-as an aid in phonemicizing. It can be used to alii~n words with the same $Uffix as as aid in identifyin5 suffixes. Conventional alphabetical order is used. The acute accent(') is disresarded in alphabetizing, but a vowel with a diacritic other than an acute accent is alphabetized after the same vowel without a diacritic. A modified for.ill of a letter follows the unmodified form of the same ' letter with a diacritic. 'I1hus, ~' e, ~, i, \, 1, :!, and ;;j., are arranged in this order. I have departed somewhat from standard phonetic no-tation. The acute accent ( ') represents stress. ·.rhe letter .J. represents the sound [h]. Followin:::; a voiceless stop, it represents aspiration. The letters ch represent the sound [c]; sh represents [s]; ~ represents [z]. The letter z following a nonvocoid may represent palatalization. The sy.iUbol [i,f] represents a se1_;,iivowel formed at the same point of articulation as [u].
