$ 13. — Ris the unvoiced fricative that corresponds to г and is, by 
contrast with WGr. nearly always short. It often replaces the WGr. q 
in an intervocalic position. Where WGr. has rr EGr. has got rq (= q'), 
see under д. 
$ 14. — pn has remained the same in many words, and always 
when long, in EGr. as in WGr. e. с. А-а ‘he in the north’; aja” 
‘mother’s brother’. In an intervocalic position it has a tendency to dis- —

before a or 0) not very different from a voiceless g (quite in keeping 
with the fact that ¢ and p in the same position almost sound like 
voiceless d and b), е. g. Ка‘пед ‘hunger’, sounds almost like ga'negq, 
still without losing the puff of breath that is. characteristic for k. In 
final position also it is often without the breath in the off-glide and 
not unfrequently slightly nasalized, but at the same time weakly artic- 
ulated, and therefore nearly inaudible, е. g. in Kun’ak = Kun:a* (a). 
k regularly replaces the SWGr. x and in a few cases also r°, e.g.
