The glottal stop of Koryak is always stronger than the corre- 

 sponding sound of Chukchee, and has a tendency to lengthen the 

 preceding vowel.

(18) The marked tendency of Chukchee to lose intervocalic consor 

 nants like ?/, g, and w — a tendency which in the men's speech affects 

 also n and t — is absent in Kor3^ak; and consequently many fuller 

 forms occur which presumably explain the frequent vocalic clus- 

 ters of Chukchee. In all those cases in which the Chukchee loses 

 intervocalic consonants, these are found in Koryak.

 Other words that retain no trace of the intervocalic consonant in 

 Chukchee have it in Kor3'ak.
