On the forty-sixth day, in the otherwise unintelligible babble of the infant, I heard, once each, _goe_ (_oe_ nearly like _i_ in bird), _oeroe_, and, five days later, _ara_. In the eighth and ninth _weeks_, the two utterances, _oerroe_, _arra_, became frequent, the _oe_ and _a_ being pure and the _r_ uvular. The syllable _ma_ I heard by itself (it was during his crying) for the first time on the sixty-fourth day. But on the following day was sounded, during persistent, loud crying, often and distinctly (it returned in like manner months after), _nei_, _nei_, _nei_, and once, during his babbling, _a-omb_. On the day after, distinctly, once each, _la_, _grei_, _aho_, and, besides, _ma_ again. On the sixty-ninth day, the child, when hungry, uttered repeatedly and very distinctly, _moemm_ and _ngoe_. Of the syllables earlier spoken, only _oerroe_ is distinctly repeated in the tenth week. On the seventy-first day, the child being in the most comfortable condition, there comes the new combination, _ra-a-ao_, and, five days later, in a hungry and uncomfortable mood, _nae_, and then _n[=a]i-n_. The manifest sign of contentment was very distinct (on the seventy-eighth day): _habu_, and likewise in the twelfth week _a-i_ and _u[=a]o_, as well as _ae-o-a_, alternating with _ae-a-a_, and _o-ae-oe_. It now became more and more difficult to represent by letters the sounds, already more varied, and even to distinguish the vowels and repeat them accurately. The child cries a good deal, as if to exercise his respiratory muscles. To the sounds uttered while the child is lying comfortably are added in the fourteenth week _ntoe_, _ha_. The last was given with an unusually loud cry, with distinct aspiration of the _h_, though with no indication that the child felt any particular pleasure. At this period I heard besides repeatedly _loe_, _na_, the latter along with screaming at disagreeable impressions more and more frequently and distinctly; in the fifteenth week, _nannana_, _n[=a]-n[=a]_, _nanna_ in refusal. On the other hand, the earlier favorite _oerroe_ has not been heard at all for some weeks. Screaming while waiting for his food to be prepared (milk and water) or for the nurse, who had not sufficient nourishment for the child, is marked, in the sixteenth week--as is also screaming on account of unpleasant feelings--in general by predominance of the vowels, _ae-[)u]_, _ae-[)u] ae_, _[=a]-[)u]_, _[=a]-[)u]_, _[)u]-ae_, _[)u]-ae_, _[=u]-[=u]-[=a]-oe_, but meantime is heard _amme-a_, and as a sign of special discomfort the persistent ill-sounding _[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]-[=u][)a]_ (_[)u]_ = Eng. _[=oo]_). Screaming in the first five months expresses itself in the main by the vowels _u_, _ae_, _oe_, _a_, with _ue_ and _o_ occurring more seldom, and without other consonants, for the most part, than _m_.
