I call \*sepoy\*, \*jungle\*, and \*veranda\*, good English words; and so I regard them, just as good as alligator, or hurricane, or canoe, or Jerusalem artichoke, or cheroot. What would my friends think of spelling these in English books as \*alagarto\*, and \*huracan\*, and \*canoa\*, and \*girasole\*, and \*shuruṭṭu\*? - [Previous: c6.s1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c6.s1.6) - [Next: c6.s1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c6.s1.8) - [Up: c6.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c6.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c6.s1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c6.s1.7) · Pramāṇa
