*Glottalized consonants are realized with simultaneous creaky voicing for most speakers, but some speakers realize glottalized stops as implosive either in free variation or word-initially

*Aspirated consonants have light to moderate aspiration
*Aspirated consonants have light to moderate aspiration.
*[j(ˀ)] and [w(ˀ)] are allophones of /i(ː)/ and /u(ː)/ adjacent to vowels
*Pre-stopped nasals may be initially either voiced or voiceless, but are more often voiceless.
*[j(ˀ)], /ɰ(ˀ)/, and [w(ˀ)] are realized as [ʝ(ˀ)], [ɣ(ˀ)], and [ɣʷ(ˀ)] adjacent to high vowels
*In far western dialects, palatalized and plain velar consonants may be realized as prevelar and postvelar respectively.
*Some speakers devoice voiced obstruents adjacent to voiceless consonants
**/ɰ(ˀ)/ and [ɣ(ˀ)] may be realized as either prevelar or postvelar, or merge into [j(ˀ) ʝ(ˀ)].
*[j(ˀ) w(ˀ)] are allophones of /i(ː) u(ː)/ adjacent to vowels.

**[j(ˀ) ɰ(ˀ) w(ˀ)] adjacent to other [j(ˀ) ɰ(ˀ) w(ˀ)] are variably realized as both approximants or both fricatives.
*Some speakers devoice voiced obstruents adjacent to voiceless consonants.
*Some speakers realize [aɰ(ˀ) əɰ(ˀ)] as central diphthongs [aɨ(ˀ) əɨ(ˀ)], especially non-prevocalically.

====Stress and pitch====
There is no set stress position, but allophonic pitch based on vowels' surrounding consonants. For most speakers these pitches are not contrastive but are seen as proper and are required in recitations; marginal exceptions occur for speakers occur that assimilate voicing in clusters and for speakers that retain tone in loaned Knrawi or tonal substrate words.

For most speakers these pitches are not contrastive but are seen as proper and are required in recitations; marginal exceptions occur for speakers that assimilate voicing in clusters and for speakers that retain tone to some degree in loaned Knrawi or tonal substrate words. Ideophones also form an exception, often ignoring/violating pitch allophony.

Syllables are generally mora-timed, with syllables containing long and overlong vowels having two and three morae; in recitations, continuant coda consonants or coda clusters with them may have their own mora, and overlong syllables may instead have four morae.
Syllables are generally mora-timed, with syllables containing long and overlong vowels having two and three morae; in formal music and poetry, continuant coda consonants or coda clusters with them may have their own mora, and overlong syllables may instead have four morae. In informal poetry and especially music, vowel length is ignored.


===Phonotactics===
===Phonotactics===
Syllables are at most (C(C₁))V((C₂)C), with C₁ being a non-lateral approximant and C₂ being C₁ or /ʔ/, but these maximum syllables are very rare. There are no restrictions on what clusters can occur.

===Adjectives and adverbs===
===Adjectives and adverbs===
Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with suffixes or particles.
Adjectives are not their own class of words, but are derived from nouns or verbs. Most often they are derived by zero-marking before other nouns or verbs, or with suffixes or particles (see [[Soc'ul'#Part-of-speech modifiers|Part-of-speech modifiers]]).


Some of these derived adjectives and adverbs have meanings that don't directly correspond to the word they are derived from; in most cases this is due to homophony in ancestral Wascotl words after dropping of the adjective suffix ''*-(c)osc'' or regular merging with forms ending in ''*-(o)tl'' (''*-osc'' and ''*-otl'' both becoming ''-ux''), for example ''toc'' "knife" or "sharp" from Wascotl ''*tequ-'' and ''*tequ-osc'' respectively.

Comparative and superlative adjectives and adverbs are formed by placing the second compared word after with the postposition ''je'', but see also (see [[Soc'ul'#Reduplication|Reduplication]]).

Line 383: Line 395:
Most words (other than nouns and conjunctions, but including some particles) can be fully reduplicated after the word for augmented or intensified meaning. In verbs this can also mark an iterative or contrastive meaning, and in adjectives and adverbs it can also mark a comparative or superlative meaning when the thing being compared to is absent in the sentence.

The reduplicated word comes after any particles that would othrewise be directly after the word. Reduplicated verbs only mark agreement on the first verb.
