Mrs. Metcalf’s
first time saying this word, with so much aspiration at the end of it, so that it sounds like it ends with a
uvular fricative, may not represent well how this word is really pronounced, so
we write it phonetically with the same little superscript H that indicates
ordinary aspiration. Her second and
third times saying the word end with ordinary aspiration and exactly match how
Jacobs phonetically transcribed Annie Miner Peterson saying the ending of this
word, some four times in the Milluk texts.
In one example, Jacobs did not hear the aspiration at the end of this
word.
