According to the Kēleñi, there are five stops (''ansāorīki anpōhi''). These are /p/, /t/, /s/, /c/, /k/. These are all unaspirated and voiceless. They become voiced between vowels and/or sonorants. They stay voiceless at the beginning and end of words, or next to another stop or fricative. /p/ is pronounced like the Spanish /p/, /t/ like the Spanish /t/. /s/ is nowadays pronounced like English /s/, but used to be like German /z/ or /ts/. This pronunciation is still found in some dialects. /c/ is a palatal stop, and can be mispronounced as English /ch/ without any misunderstanding. /k/ is like Spanish /c/ in /ca/ or /co/. | According to the Kēleñi, there are five stops (''ansāorīki anpōhi'').
