====Apostrof==== | |||
The Apostrophe (<i>'</i>) represents the phone [ɛ], and is used only when the sound is to be fully realized. The apostrohpe is used to counteract the dropping of word-final, unstressed syllables in Eastern Alska. It is also used in stressed syllables because the letter ''e'' only represents the phone [e:]. If ''e'', or any other vowel is found in an unstressed syllable (usually at the end of a word), it is dropped from speech. However, is '' ' '' is in the final syllable, it is still unstressed, but the [ɛ] is pronounced. | |||
This is shown in the tables below. | |||
