References

page 428 note 1 Subject to the exceptions mentioned by M. Maspero on pp. 78–9 of his article.

page 431 note 1 To avoid misunderstanding I must observe that it is only a relative fixity, relative, that is to say, to the pitch of the other words of the sentence, not to any absolute standard. In a toned language a sentence is like a musical phrase, which remains essentially the same, no matter what key it may be played in.

page 431 note 2 I mean to say that a loanword picked up by ear from an untoned language may happen to have been pronounced, when heard, with a tone which fitted it to be received unchanged in the toned language. It would, I admit, be a lucky accident.
