Instant Phonetic Englishization: Like the English word ‘goth’, but instead of
putting the tongue between the teeth and making a voiceless fricative sound, the
tongue is in position to make the consonant L, to make a voiceless fricative
sound. Annie Miner Peterson’s voiced uvular consonant is farther back in the throat.

There are quite a few other
examples of this sound correspondence where Lolly Metcalf’s Coos Bay Milluk
velar consonant, in this case a voiced velar stop consonant [ g ], corresponds
to Annie Miner Peterson’s uvular consonant, which in this case is a voiced
uvular stop consonant [ ɢ ]. In our
modernized Americanist transcriptions we redundantly put a dot under the modern
phonetic symbol for a voiced uvular stop consonant [ ɢ ] to make it more like Jacobs’
old-fashioned dot put under a lower case letter g.
