Abstract
These few remnants which are counted to be the resistants against this general movement remind us of, as it were, a legitimate child whose hereditary character has come down directly from the Finno-Ugric ancestors. In other words, some of these Permian subdialects are the only reflection which shows up the ancient phase of accent which the Finno-Ugric ancestors, or at least the ancient Permian ancestors, seemed to have. From these facts, I have come to the conclusion, I should say, that, when the Syryen and the Wotyak languages were much more closely related, the characteristics of their accent were not those of an immovable accent but those of a movable accent, which they have already forgotten at the earliest stage of their history.
