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. /sə́ˈçà̤tà/ - "sister" is most often pronounced [ | The pronunciation of short vowels with breathy phonation varies depending on a variety of factors.

If the vowel precedes an obstruent (stop, affricate or fricative), then a voiceless fricative is inserted, that is homorganic with the obstruent e.g. /sə́ˈçà̤tà/ - "sister" is most often pronounced [síˈçæ̤̀stà]. However this is in free variation with preaspiration, so the word for sister can also be pronounced as [síˈçæ̤̀ʰtà]. If the vowel precedes a sonorant, then it is pronounced geminated and with breathy voice e.g. /ˈfò̤ɥə̀tə̀/ - "forest" can be pronounced [ˈfʉ̤̀ɥ̤ːʏ̀tə̀] | ||
