Little is known about the laryngeals '''*Q, *H, *X'''. Some conjectured realizations are: | Little is known about the laryngeals '''*Q, *H, *X'''. Some conjectured realizations are: | ||
*'''Q''' = /ʔ/ or /q/ | *'''Q''' = /ʔ/ or /q/ | ||
*'''H''' = /ʁ/ (causes pharyngealized vowels in [[Æ]]) | *'''H''' = /ʁ (???)/ (causes pharyngealized vowels in [[Æ]], but merges into '''F''' in Tseer! It might have been a compressed-rounded vocalized-L-like phoneme.) | ||
