Abstract

IN articles in Nature1, I have set out the conclusion that a great part of human speech originated in the speaking organs' unconscious imitation of the gestures of tne human body, especially the hands. The three articles dealt only with Ide. and Hebrew (as representative of the Semitic group). I have continued my researches and this time chosen the sounds I and r, which I have systematically investigated in Ide.,
