1. Note: In many places the text has been formatted to separate the words
to make it easy to recite and understand. Thus, the formatting in this E Long ‘E’ - as in ‘pay’
document often differs from the formal format of the original literary
style text. Short ‘o’ - as in ‘one’
Pronunciation: If there is a pause between words, then the last pure o
hard consonant ‘k’, ‘c’, ‘th’, ‘p’ ( ) should be left silent. (eg.
“thEnaip, pAlaik, kannalin” should be said like “thEnai, pAlai, O Long ‘O’ - as in ‘ocean’
kannalin”). They are pronounced if the words are said without a pause
between them.
