Rh spoken; dün for dun, done; and tüm for tjm, time; rjch for rich, rich; ðör for ðër, there; brïks for brichez, breeches; seln for self, hez for hath, aus for âlso, sud for shüld; J'l, J'st or even ai'l, aist for J wil, an indication of the future; in the other persons, ðou'l or ðoust for ðou wilt, ðou shalt, and thus for the rest: hï'l or hïst; wïl; you'l or youst; ðei'l, ðeist or ðei sal.

And also in ai, after the separation of the diphthong, they unpleasantly draw out the a: thus, to päi, to pay; ðäi, they''.

They use ea for a; thus, to deans for dans, dance; 𝑣 for f, thus 𝑣elöu for felöu, fellow; z for s, thus zai for sai, say. Yet our flashily-adorned Mopseys greatly exaggerate having this thinness, and in fact narrow everything in such a manner that otherwise, they might not be seen to abhor  a and o  more than Appius Claudius did  z.
