If _defiscience_ ov symbols hav been so ezily and so amply exampelled; a
ballance may be proffered in _redundance_; ov consonants, no les dhan ov

hardening gard ov _g_, at least, shood not hav been forgotten. If _i_ waz
indispensabel in _aingel_ and _dainger, u_ iz az recquizite in _anguel_ and
_anguer_, az in _guerdon_. _Guet_ and _guiv_ demand dhe (_u_) hardener, az
boldly az _gues_ and _guilt_. So redundance alreddy recalls, in order to'

superfluity in all dheze, haz dhe _a_ hiddherto' remained in _health_,
