{ka.} are stable, but medials like
N.B. Previously to the first line of each table, the compound consonants [Carey does not differentiate medials and conjuncts] combined with the vowels are inserted, each of which may be followed by a final consonant, and forms a new table. (p023end-p024begin)

UKT 210208: Carey presents his Table II in two parts: firstly, medials and their vowels.
see CareyGram01.htm > §051 .
The second part is syllables produced with medials as Onsets. Their vowels become the nuclear vowel of the syllable.

{kreik} <kraik> ,
{kreín} <kraing>, and
{kreiO} <kro> are syllables in which final consonants follow the diphthong

{kroäm} is the same as
{kroam}, above.
(p025end-p026begin)
N.B. The symbol [Ra'ric]
/
of the above and following combinations is almost always pronounced as the
symbol [Ya'pin]
. The English r therefore which properly represents the
symbol [Ra'ric]
/
must always be pronounced as the consonant y . Ex.
{krak}
is not pronounced <kret> but <kyet> .
§092.
The combinations of this table have the
symbolical character [Wa'hswè ]
inserted immediately after the initial consonant;
UKT 210129: There are two ways of writing Wa'hswè

UKT 210131: Now, a word about my intention of trying to include Roman-Latin in BEPS. Roman-Latin is the ancient language influencing English-Latin. To do this, I'll have to look into how Ya'pin and Wa'hswè are different due to the spreading or rounding of lips. This difference can be traced to the difference in pronunciation of medial formers
{ya.} (spread-lips), and
{wa.} (round lips). The < kw > of

[The above ] are syllables in which a final consonant [Coda] follows the
vowel
{a.} /æ/ of an initial compounded with
{wa.} [Onset].
UKT 210208: There are 4 medial formers, because of which there there should be four medials acting as onsets. Cary seems that Carey has missed the Ha'hto . Yet in CareyGram01.htm > §059
§059. The symbol of{ha.}, in words purely Burman, is affixed to all the nasals,
besides which it is affixed to only{þa.}
I'll try to insert what he has missed, using the most :[Ha'hto medials of
