10 SOUND SYNTHESIS IN IE, IIR & SANSKRIT
are misguided by the representation of diphthongs in Brugmann's first edition such as ei (-ey)etc. (Vide CGIGL: Ip. 48 footnote). But Brugmann revises subsequently as ei etc. (vide KVG p. 82). As a matter of fact i, u differ from the rest of the secondary vowels in this treatment only. The other secondary vowels always remain consonantal after primary vowels and donot form diphthongs.
