G. GH. This character as consonant, belongs to the guttural sound. The one by which I translate it, is quite a modern invention and responds to it rather imper­fectly.

In the first case it is a thing which is displayed in space by unfolding itself ; which is developed, produced, according to its nature, unveiled; in the second, it is a thing, on the contrary, which coils, rolls, complicates, accumulates, heaps up, envelops.
