Mila: Difference between revisions

The first is that adjacent consonants must agree in the amount of voicing. If therefore a voiceless obstruent (apart from '''ι''' /h/) is adjacent to a voiced consonant then it will become voiced. The word for ''house'' is '''υɔυ''' before voicing considerations are taken we have the basic outline of /ʹluk.la/ (the asterisk indicates a wrong form). The /k/ needs to agree for voicing with the following /l/ which is voiced. The /l/ cannot devoice so the /k/ must become the voiced /g/. giving us [ʹlug.lɐ]. Similarly, the word for ''more'' is '''oωɾ''' which gives the basic outline /ʹpin.ta/ but the /t/ needs to agree for voicing with the preceding /n/ so will become /d/, giving us [ʹpin.dɐ].
