The sound-imitations of every kind are more manifold, eager, and skillful than ever before. Once the child even made a serious attempt to reproduce ten words spoken in close succession, but did not succeed. The attempt proves all the same that the word-imitation is now far beyond the lower echo-speech; yet he likes to repeat the last words and syllables of sentences heard by him even in the following months. Here belongs his saying _so_ when any object is brought to the place appointed for it. When the reproduction is defective, the child shows himself to be now much more amenable to correction. He has become more teachable. At the beginning of the month he used to say, when he wanted to sit, _ette_ then _etse_, afterward _itse_; but he does not yet in the present month say "setzen" or "sitzen." Hitherto he could repeat correctly at the utmost two words said for him. Now he repeats three, and once even four, imperfectly: _papa_, _beene_, _delle_, means "Papa, Birne, Teller," and is uttered glibly; but "Papa, Birne, Teller, bitte," or "Papa, Butter, bitte," is not yet repeated correctly, but _pata_, _butte_, _betti_, and the like; only very seldom, in spite of almost daily trial, _papa_, _beene_, _delle_, _bittee_. Evidence of the progress of the memory, the understanding, and the articulation, is furnished in the answers the child gave when I asked him, as I touched various objects, "What is that?" He replied: _Autse_, for Auge (eye). _Nana_, " Nase (nose). _Ba_, " Backe (back). _Baat_, " Bart (beard). _Oe, Oa_, " Ohr (ear). _Opf_, " Kopf (head). _Tenn_, " Kinn (chin). _Taene_, " Zaehne (teeth). _Hai_, " Haar (hair). _Ulter_, " Schulter (shoulder). _Aam_, " Arm (arm). _Ann_, " Hand (hand). _Wier_, " Finger (finger). _Daima_, " Daumen (thumb). _Anu_, " Handschuh (glove). _Bain_, " Bein (leg). But not one word has the child himself invented. When a new expression appears it may be surely traced to what has been heard, as _uppe_, _oppee_, _appee_, _appei_, to "Suppe." The name alone by which he calls on his nurse, _wola_, seemed hard to explain. If any one says, "Call Mary," the child invariably calls _wola_. It is probable, as he used to call it _wolja_, that the appellation has its origin in the often-heard "ja wohl."
