3. If <strong>the</strong> leader ends on a vowel or <strong>the</strong> trailer starts with it,<br />

<strong>the</strong>n that vowel takes <strong>the</strong> place of <strong>the</strong> above -0.<br />

Epimys Epi|muzho from epi• and muzh•<br />

Galanthus Galakt|anto from galakt• and ant•<br />

DIFFERENT vowels, <strong>the</strong>n both vowels have to be written:<br />

vowel, <strong>the</strong>n both vowels comb<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>to one:<br />

Thelyper Tel|y|pero<br />

from tely• [“female”] and yper• [“serve”].<br />

5<br />

past, which perta<strong>in</strong> exclusively to <strong>the</strong> object, are<br />

considered sufficient <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>mselves and need no<br />

revision o<strong>the</strong>r than that brought about by <strong>the</strong> new<br />

orthography (see Rule 18). After this it is only a matter of<br />

familiarisation...<br />
