Or a special semi-vowel. We are talking indeed about AW and aw. As we have already seen, the consonant AW got also its foot. This means for instance that the combination Kaw + AW's foot + Kaw = K / awK . If a beginner pronounces it "Kay-awk" he's got
already 50 over 100. The point is to utter it in one single syllable, not in two and with an obstructed K breath. Here are the meanings of the words in the rightward table : (K / awK : To caugh) (T / oNH : To complain) (PH / awK : Anchovy) (L / eT : Very tiny) [CHH / aerR : To smoke (fish)] (P / ohN : Little sibling) (M / awM : Aromatic herb) (S / ohh : Hot and humid) . |
