Appendix D: Confusion reins, rains, reigns.
The word comparisons in this appendix illustrate the absurdity of Traditional Orthography. Each group is represented by a set of three rows of words. The first row is spelt in Traditional Orthography, the second in the Cut Spelling and the third in Yurabet. In each Traditional Orthography row, there are similarities in pronunciation or spelling, but the sound/ symbol relationship is illogical. The second row shows how Cut Spelling tackles this problem. The third row attempts to resolve the problem completely through Yurabet.| eight eit eyt |
