+====''gh'' /ɣ/====
+The phoneme /ɣ/, written ''gh'', has several allophonic variants, depending on its position. It is:
+* /ɣ/ in word-final position and between vowels, e.g. ''hógh'' "hill" /hoːɣ/, ''borgh'' "fort" /borɣ/, ''dagher'' "days" /daɣər/
+* /x/ before /t/, e.g. ''floght'' "flutter" /floxt/, ''láght'' "low" (neut.) /laxt/.
+* /Ø/ (zero) before a consonant, causing the following vowel to lengthen when short, e.g. ''laghman'' "lawyer" /laːmən/, ''boghskot'' "bowshot" /boːskot/.
