Voiceless lenis sonoplosive clusives, labialized : lew. 



Voiceless glottalized clusives: Ic, i, p. 



Voiceless lenis affricative clusives: ts, tf. 



Voiceless glottalized affricative clusives: fs, ff. 



Voiceless aspirate clusives: Y , t\ p'. 



Voiced inflative clusives, preplosively nasal: ^, 4, &• 



Voiced levis clusives: g, a, fe. 



Voiced nasals: y, n, n, m. 



The following phonems are consonant diphthongs : qw, lew, ts, fs, tf, 

 {f, ijff 4, and b. In the glottalized clusives (k, i, ts, tf, p) the glottal 

 plosion follows the oral plosion, even following the glided or sukuned 

 s and / of the consonantal diphthongs. That is, the Ic, t, ts, tf, or p 

 is completely immersed in a glottal elusive. It has been deter- 

 mined that, at least in many instances, (j and g, d and d, h and S are 

 respectively but two aspects of the same phonem, as is the case with' 

 Castilian g and levis g, d and levis d, h and levis h. The consonants 

 occur in one length only. They may be more or less orinasal when 

 contiguous to orinasal vowels. The sonancy of the voiceless lenis 

 clusives begins nearly simultaneously with the explosion. 



A grave accent is placed over the vowel of a syllable weakly 

 stressed. Strongly stressed syllables are unmarked. The intonation 

 of the syllables is not indicated in this memoir. 



Phonetic Spelling of non-Tewa Words 



The symbols used in Tewa have the same value as in Tewa. 



Sounds not occurring or not written in Tewa are indicated as 

 follows: Vowels: a (French patte), a (French pas), m (unrounded u). 

 The acute accent over a vowel indicates that it is loudly stressed. A 

 circle under a vowel indicates that it is surd. 



Consonants: ' (aspiration),^ (a peculiar weak aspiration occurring 

 in Jemez), k (marginal or "velar" l^, lenis), q (Ger. ach), g, d, h (as 

 in Eng.); f (bilabial/) after a consonant symbol indicates palatal- 

 ized or palatal quality.
