Lashi[edit]

Letter[edit]

  1. High lexical tone.

Usage notes[edit]

The only final plosive that occurs on syllables with this tone is [k]. This tone letter is thus restricted to the sequences aˮ amˮ anˮ angˮ agˮ (and similarly for other vowels).

Lhao Vo[edit]

Letter[edit]

ˮ

  1. High lexical tone on a syllable ending in a vowel or nasal consonant.

Usage notes[edit]

High tone is written ʼ with a final plosive, including the otherwise unwritten glottal stop. The possibilities are thus aˮ amˮ anˮ angˮ abʼ adʼ agʼ aʼ (and similarly for other vowels).

Tundra Nenets[edit]

Pronunciation[edit]

Letter[edit]

ˮ

  1. The thirty-sixth letter of the Tundra Nenets alphabet, written in the Cyrillic script.

Usage notes[edit]

Usually marks instances of the glottal stop /ʔ/ that either do not participate in any alternation, or alternate with the oral stop д () /d/, in contrast with the letter ʼ. Often transcribed q in scholarly sources. In some words the letter is silent and is used to indicate word-final consonants that are not followed by an unwritten schwa.
