^°No.°69r^^' LANGUAGE OF SANTA ANA PUEBLO — DAVIS 61 



There is a series of voiceless sibilants, s, s and s, and of glottalized 

 sibilants, s, s and s at alveolar, retroflexed and alveopalatal points of 

 articulation respectively: 



sa back sa mine 



sa scattered sa you are mine 



s^skA. roadrunner hd-suwimi shoe 



The plain sonorants, m, n, r, w, and y, and the glottalized sono- 

 rants, rii, n, r, w, and f, are normally voiced but occur as voiceless 

 variants when flanked by voiceless vowels: 



kucAyAWA he is angry sguhimA I believe 



In then- occuiTence between a voiced and a voiceless vowel they may be 

 voiceless, partly voiced, or fully voiced, depending on factors such as 

 the rate of speech: 



dfyA dog cinA turkey gd-iiiA his house 



Unlike other glottalized consonants, which are produced with the 

 glottis closed, glottalized sonorants are initiated with a momentary 

 glottal closure and release. 



The nasals are produced at bilabial and at alveolar or alveopalatal 

 points of articulation. The alveopalatal variant occurs preceding a 

 front vowel, while the alveolar form occurs elsewhere: 



mdsa-ni leaf md-ni word 



n4ti prairie dog na down 



neku will bite nf-zuwA will pay 



The phonemes r and f are alveolar flaps, while w, w, y and f are 

 nonsyllabic vocoids: 



rdwd- good scffd. crow 



wd-wd medicine wa-yusA duck 



yd'i'di sand yauni stone 



The "glottal fricative," h, and the glottal stop, '^, complete the 

 inventory of native consonants: 



hd.-bl feather 'd'i'd-tdwi key 



Sounds introduced through loanwords include the voiceless unas- 

 pirated alveopalatal affricate, i; the voiced stops, b, d and g; and 

 the voiced alveolar lateral, 1: 



ii-Ti chili 



Bendd-na window (Spanish ventana) 



?amd-Du pillow (Spanish almohada) 



Gaye-tA biscuit (Spanish galleta) 



le-Ba coat (Spanish leva) 



Phonemic sequences introduced by loanwords include stops plus 

 r or 1 and nasals plus homorganic stops: 



blS,-SA city (Spanish plaza) 



sandiy&-ku St. James (Spanish Santiago)
