40 ETHNOGEOGEAPHY OF THE TEWA IXDIAXS [eth. a.nx. 29 



Voiceless glottalized atlricative clusives; fs, tf. 



Voiceless aspirate clusives: ^", t\ p\ 



Voiced inflative clusives, preplosively nasal: ^, d, h. 



Voiced levis clusives: g, ./, 5. The g of this series is not as levis as 

 the ^ and i. 



Voiced nasals: y, «y, «, m. 



The following phonems are consonantal diphthongs: qw, Jno, ts, fs, 

 tf, ff, (7, d, and b. In the glottalized clusives (k, i, fs, tf, p) the glottal 

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

 sand/ of the consonantal diphthongs; that is, the Ic, i, ft, tf, or p is 

 completely immersed in a glottal elusive. It has been determined 

 that, in many instances, g and <7, 4 and ./, and i and h are respec- 

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

 Castilian g and levis (/, 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 neai'ly simultaneously with the explosion. 



A grave accent is placed over the vowel of a syllable weaklj^ stressed, 

 and with falling intonation. The tone and stress of the other sylla- 

 bles are not written in this memoir. 



An intensive study of Tewa phonetics has been made, the results of 

 which will be published soon. The reader is referred to this forth- 

 comhig memoir for a more complete description of the Tewa sounds, 

 including explanation of a number of assimilations and other phonetic 

 phenomena not mentioned above. 



II. Phonetic Spelling of Non-Tewa Words 



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



Vowels: d (French patte), ^i, (unrounded u). The acute accent over 

 a vowel S3'm])ol indicates that it is loudl^^ stressed. A circle under a 

 vowel symbol indicates that it is surd. 



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

 in Jemez), k (marginal, "velar"', k, lenis), q (Ger. acA), (/, d, h (sonant 

 stops as in Eng.), f (bilabial f); f after a consonant symbol indicates 

 palatalized or palatal quality. 



III. Alphabetic Order 



The alphabetic order followed in this memoir is: aa dxxq hb i d d 

 e ef F g fj g h i i j h Tew hi:' II m n nf y rjf o q p p p' q qic r ,i 

 s f t t t' ts tf fs tf u y, y.v w. The glottal elusive is ignored in the 

 alphabetic sequence.
