Fone, "God shield you from your fone" (M14,d; et passim), foes: an old plural.

While we was firin at the range the other day I was sittin on a hill with the fone takin messages from another hill.

Ritin letters from here is like talkin to a fello over the fone that aint there.

Then the Lootenant came runnin down cussin an swearin because the fone was busted.
