===''Íkon''=== | |||
''Íkon'' (literally "i-ing") is a phenomenon where the vowel /i/, as well as the diphthongs /ja jo ju/, causes the preceding consonant to palatalize. In most dialects, this depends on either what the preceding consonant is, what the vowel is, or both. | |||
In most dialects with ''íkon'', only the /jV/ glides will palatalize a consonant unless that consonant is a sibilant. These are marked with a "~". In these dialects, usually the /j/ is either shortened or completely absent, in favor of palatalization, and depending on the consonant. For example: in Pahang Rokadong, the /j/ is shortened [ʲ] when the preceding consonant is a plosive (including /t͡ʃ d͡ʒ ɾ/) or labial fricative, and absorbed when the preceding consonant is anything else. While the plosives and fricative /tʃ d͡ʒ ʃ/ are already considered palatal, they may still palatalize further, to [ɕ tɕ dʑ] (also written [tʃʲ d͡ʒʲ ʃʲ]), in some dialects. | |||
In some dialects, such as Ahotélah Rokadong, /jV/ and /i/ both cause ''íkon'', and the effect is more pronounced. For example: in Ahotélah Rokadong, /j/ is absorbed for all non-labial consonants. | |||
