| From Mrs. Peterson, there is: mɩʔlɛ́hɛ ‘swimmer’, in Jacobs’ handwriting in his slip-file dictionary. We assume this to be phonetically [ mɩʔlǽhæ ], but we also assume that when Mrs. Peterson pronounced this word meaning ‘swimmer’, the glottal stop was not so much before the L [ l ] as it was simultaneous with the L. A simultaneous pronunciation, rather than [ lʔ ] is what we actually hear in Lolly’s pronunciation of the evidently reduplicated form of the verb meaning ‘swim’. |
