6 The following table will show how the orthography here adopted differs from those of Morrison and Medhurst, PremárePrémare [sic], Callery, and the Chinese Repository.

The only remaining symbols to be noticed are those for tones. The Chinese use a small circle at one of the four corners of the character to mark the tone. Instead of this mark, a comma turned away from the word, will be employed for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th tones, and a full stop for the fifth tone. Thus ,t‘i,  ’t‘i,  t‘i‘,  t‘ih⹁,  .t‘i. The Chinese names of the tone-classes to which these five words respectively belong, are shang p‘ing,  shang sheng,  k’ü sheng,  juh sheng
