Æ tones
Spelling Tone Example IPA Meaning
unmarked modal hæ̊ /hœ/ echo
s stød (weak glottalization) hæ̊s /hœˀ/ steep
b breathy hæ̊b /hœʱ/ to stretch
g checked (strong glottalization) hæ̊g /hœʔ/ to make a mistake

Morphology

"Erhua" (pharyngealization) is sometimes used to nominalize verbs (from PLak *s) or form passives/intransitive verbs (from PLak *r) from transitive ones.

  • hæ̊g /hœʔ/ = to lose one's way > hæ̊rg /hœˤʔ/ = mistake, error
