====Nasal Consonants====


A schwa has a strong tendency to be lost if it occurs immediately after a nasal consonant, and immediately before a stop or affricate. In this case, the nasal changes it's place or articulation to be homorganic with the stop / affricate e.g. /çə̀wàŋə̀ˈpô̰/ - "udder" is usually heard as [ḉʉwɔ́mˈpɔ̰̂ː].
