[55] Other unusual girls' names are Ambrogine, Ateline, Irene, Melmorine. These rhyme with Queen. The same Italian i is found in Elgiva, Seppelita, Barnita, Justina, and the English i in Alvira, Marina. The next are all accented, like the last six, on the penultimate; Etilda, Iota, Clarista, Pastora, Barzella, Zedilla, Amanda, Agarta (evidently a variant of Agatha), Timinetia (like Polynesia), Cherryana, Indiana. Then there is Hettybel, and one girl has this astonishing combination—Ataria (rhymes with Samaria), Azadell (? Isabel).

[56] A last reminder to pronounce "acrahss," "harse." The Negro rejects the sound aw altogether and always changes it to ah.

[57] Bolow, comrade.

[58] Yaws, see [p. 57].

[59] Mowitahl = Mowatt Hall.

[60] Bahss, Boss. "Carry him" is in two syllables, sounding like ca-yim.
