Excerpt from The Elements of Old English: Consisting of Elementary Grammar (With Selections for Reading), Reference Grammar The phonetic notation I have used in this book is a modification of that of the International Phonetic Alphabet: Practical considerations, however, have led me to depart from the International alphabet farther than I originally intended. For the purposes of this book it seemed clearly desirable to use as the sign of vowel length the macron which isused by editors of Old and Middle English texts rather than the colon of the International alphabet. There seemed also to be a distinct ad vantage in using as the symbols of open 0 and open e the char acters 6 and E which are used in Middle English texts rather than the International symbols. Some persons may possibly object to my use of E and 6 as symbols for the vowel sounds of Modern English they and low. My primary reason for using these symbols rather than symbols that indicate the diphthongal nature of. These vowels is that the amount and kind of diphthongisation of these and other long vowels is by no means uniform in American English. It therefore seemed best to use 6, 6, etc. As somewhat conventional symbols for these sounds and to explain their diphthongal nature at appropriate places in the footnotes.
