¹ [ε] toward [Ә]. Vowels in unstressed syllables tend toward central articulation. In a more accurate transcription this ‘centering’ of weak vowels could be indicated by the shift signs of the IPA.

² The first element of the diphthong [aε] is very long here, and regularly so under the stress, unless it is followed by a voiceless consonant.

³ The [r] carries the syllable, and is followed by consonant [r] The syllabic division is produced by diminishing the volume of the voice, while the tongue stays in position.

⁴ The reader may have articulated the [k] before the [t], but it is not audible on the record.

⁵ Long [θ].

⁶ The [d] is separated from the following stressed [æ] by a brief pause.

⁷ The diphthong is very plain.

⁸ [1] is barely audible.

⁹ Somewhat higher pitched than the preceding word.

¹⁰ Long slack [i]. No [Ә]-glide to be heard before an [r] of the same syllable.

¹¹ = if you.

¹² Long [o]; lower and more slack before [r] than in other contacts, but entirely distinct from [ɔ] in all.

¹³ Very heavily stressed. The diphthongal glide is less distinct under normal stress.

¹⁴ = but it is.

¹⁶ The first element of the diphthong is a long back [α].

¹⁸ Heavy stress, overlong vowel, voice gliding from high to low.

¹⁹ [kold] is slightly higher pitched than [ræt].

²⁰ The glottal stop is very plain.

²¹ The first element of the diphthong is long. The word is lower pitched than [hol].

²² The [t] is faint.

²³ Somewhat lower than the preceding stressed syllable, but not low. There is suspense, leading up to the description that follows.

²⁴ The [t] is not exploded, and the implosion is inaudible.

²⁵ = let in.

²⁶ Plain long diphthong.

²⁸ Lower than the preceding unstressed syllables.

³⁰ Long slack vowel.

³¹ Slack short vowel.

³² In this phrase the unstressed syllables are pitched higher than the stressed.

³³ The [ε] is short and snappy.

³⁴ The entire phrase is somewhat higher than the basic pitch.

³⁵ Slightly raised in pitch.

³⁶ Long [α], which diminishes in loudness before the tongue shifts to the [Ә] of the next syllable.

³⁷ Very heavy stress and high pitch. The largest intervals are always found between an over-stressed syllable and the preceding or following unstressed syllable. A sudden rise or drop in pitch usually accompanies heavy stress.

³⁸ The sustained pitch conveys a threat.

³⁹ The pitch rises gradually from the beginning to the end of the phrase.

⁴⁰ Does the high-pitched unstressed syllable foreshadow the mood of the subsequent phrase?

⁴¹ Unstressed, very short; there seems to be a voiceless sound before the [w].

⁴² The tongue probably remains in position for the successive [s] sounds, but there are two breath impulses.

⁴³ The second syllable sets in slightly higher than the first.

⁴⁴ The sustained pitch expresses reflection, uncertainty. .

⁴⁵ A protracted diphthong, tense at the beginning, slack at the end.

⁴⁶ Lower than the preceding syllable.

⁴⁷ Long vowel.

⁴⁸ The glide toward [Ә] is brief.

⁴⁹ Protracted vowel.

⁵⁰ Long vowel, lower than before other consonants; there is no [Ә]-glide before the [r].

⁵¹ The voice gradually drops from the beginning to the end of the phrase, the unstressed syllables having the pitch of the stressed syllables preceding them.

⁵² Half-long vowel.

⁵³ There is a distinct glide toward central position, i.e. [Ә].

⁵⁴ Perhaps rather [] than [ɔ].

⁵⁵ Short [α]; cf. note 52.

⁵⁶ Long vowel.
