The phonations are | The situation here is identical to Kämpya. One syllable in each word bears stress. Vowel phonation is phonemic on stressed syllables but not elsewhere. The phonations are tense /a̰/, breathy /a̤/ or /ä/, and glottalised /aʔ/. Harsh and breathy vowels are both pronounced long, while glottalised vowels are pronounced short, and with glottalisation of the following consonant (or with a glottal stop [ʔ] in the case of word final syllables). For example, the first syllable of "Seggeynni" has stress with glottalised phonation, meaning that the subsequent /k/ is pronounced as an implosive /ɠ/. | ||

The pronunciation of short vowels with breathy phonation varies depending on a variety of factors. At the end of words, they are normally pronounced with a final /ɦ/, or occasionally [z] or [ɹ]. If the vowel precedes an obstruent (stop, affricate or fricative), then a voiceless fricative is inserted, that is homorganic with the obstruent e.g. /fáˈʑè̤tè/ - "forest" is most often pronounced [fɛ́ˈʑìstə̀]. However this is in free variation with preaspiration, so the word for forest can also be pronounced as [fɛ́ˈʑìʰtə̀]. If the vowel precedes a sonorant, then it is pronounced geminated and with breathy voice e.g. /ˈjè̤mə̀/ - "salt" is usually pronounced [ˈji̤m̤ːə̀]. | The pronunciation of short vowels with breathy phonation varies depending on a variety of factors.
