TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

PM. Note: Balg's translation is a bit awkward. He knew quite a
number of languages so well that he wrote books about them, but he
had is own view of English orthography. He frequently left out "e"
when the "e" was not pronounced, like in "ar" (for "are"), "hav",
"givn" etc. He did this consistently, so this was his deliberate
choice.

On p. x the reference "Brugm., Grundriss der vergleichenden
grammatik der indog. sprachen von K. Brugmann (Engl. edition).
Strassburg 1886-92" is the German ed.; the English one, to which
refs. in this book apply, is _Elements of the Comparative Grammar
of the Indo-Germanic Languages_, New York 1888-95.

The characters used in the table on p. 11 are approximations of
the gothic characters as unicode gothic fonts are not generally
