krist_n the_o sound_n of_o i_fw-mi ch_z do_v whole_o agree_v with_o the_o pronunciation_n of_o i_fw-mi also_o in_o the_o german_a tongue_n of_o the_o greek_a chy_fw-mi or_o the_o hebrew_n ch_v or_o of_o gh_a in_o englyshe_a and_o it_o have_v no_o affinity_n at_o all_o with_o i_fw-mi in_o englyshe_a except_o in_o these_o word_n mychael_n mychaelmas_n and_o a_o few_o such_o other_o ch_z also_o when_o it_o be_v the_o radical_a letter_n in_o any_o walshe_n word_n remain_v immutable_a in_o every_o place_n the_o sound_n of_o d._n d_o be_v read_v in_o walshe_n none_o otherwise_o than_o in_o english_a save_v only_o that_o oftentimes_o do_v in_o the_o first_o syllable_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o dd_a resemble_a much_o dale_v the_o hebrew_n d._n and_o sometime_o when_o a_o word_n begin_v
