The signs 0 and ( ) are then identical. We may therefore assume that 0, 0 and ( ) are also identical. The fact that 0 is like 0 liable to be compounded with an inserted 'fish' suggests that it is a phonetically allied syllable, and that in ( ), ( ) we have really one word 0 0 differently pronounced. The fact that 0 is found with the same modifying element ) as is found with 0 , makes us suspect that 0 and 0 are allied syllables. .
