ǝi, which Mr. Ellis (_ibid._) gives as the power of English 'ai' (aisle) in London, occurs in the PG. exclamation 'hǝi,' used in driving cows, and naturalised in the vicinal English. Slavonic has (in German spelling) huj, and Hungarian hü, used in driving swine. Compare Schmidt, Westerwäld. Idiot., p. 276. au in h_ou_se; G. haus, PG. haus. English 'ou' is thus pronounced in adopted words like 'County,' or 'Caunty,' 'Township' or 'Taunschip.' _Care must be taken_ not to confound the initial of these pairs, for G. and PG. 'eis' (ice) and 'aus' (out) have the same initial vowel, while 'aistǝr' would spell _oyster_. § 4. _Nasal Vowels and Dipthongs._ PG. is not a harsh dialect, like Swiss. It has, however, the Suabian feature of nasal vowels,[10] but to a less extent. They will be indicated with (˛) a modification of the Polish mode. This nasality replaces a lost _n_ (but not a lost _m_), and it does not pervert the vowel or dipthong, as in the French _un_, _vin_, as compared with _une_, _vinaigre_. Nor does it affect all vowels which have been followed by _n_, for most of them remain pure. Nasal 'ee' (in _they_, French _é_) is very common, but does not occur in French, and French _un_ does not occur in PG. Being unaware of the existence of this feature, the writers of the dialect neglect it in the printed examples, which makes it difficult for a foreigner to comprehend them, because a word like 'aa' (the English syllable _awe_) would stand for G. _auch_ (also), and when nasal (aa˛) for G. _an_ (on); and 'schtee' would represent both the German _stehe_ and _stein_, as in saying 'I stand on the stone'-- G. Ich stehe auf dem stein.--PG. ich schtee uf m schtee˛. The following words afford examples:-- aa˛-fang-ǝ (G. anfangen) _to begin_; alée˛ (G. alleín) _alone_; schee˛ (G. schön) _handsome_; bee˛ (G. bein, pl. beine) _leg_, _legs_; kee˛ (G. kein) _none_; grii˛ (G. grün) _green_; duu˛ (G. thun) _to do_. Was hǝt ær geduu˛? (G. Was hat er gethan?) _what has he done?_ mei˛ (G. mein, meine) _my_; dei˛ (G. dein) _thy_; nei˛ (G. hinein) _within_; ei˛ being the only nasal dipthong. The obscurity arising from a neglect of the nasal vowels appears in the following lines-- "Die amshel singt so huebsch un' feih, Die lerch sie duht ihr lied ah neih;" ... "Awhaemle duht mich eppes noh."--_Rachel Bahn._ Final _n_ is not always rejected, but remains in many words, among which are--'in' _in_; 'bin' _am_; 'un' _and_; 'iin'(him) G. _ihn_ (but hii˛ for G. _hin_ thither); 'fun' (from) G. _von_; 'wan' (when); 'hen' (have) G. _haben_; 'kan' (can); 'schun' (already) G. _schon_.
