A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India v1.c6.5

v1.c6.5

¹ *Geschichte d. Deutschen Sprache*, vol. i., p. 251, "Anlaut hält die stufen jedes organs am reinsten und treusten, inlaut ist geneigt es zu erweichen, auslaut zu erhärten." We have unfortunately no equivalents for anlaut, inlaut, or auslaut. These words, meaning on-sound, in-sound, and out-sound, respectively, are also applied to vowels, but in the passage quoted only consonants are referred to.
