John:
It may be coincidence or an earlier pronunciation, but Dorsey consistantly 
has no "h" for the following:
hina'ge (woman) > DOR   ina'ge
hina's^age (old woman) > ina'sh^age  DOR
ha'xoje (ashes)  >  DOR   a'xoje

I believe I've noted other instances, but I'd have to scour his original IOM 
texts, and I haven't the time to do that.  These words came immediately to 
me.
