Miller-Ockhuizen ( 2003 ) analyzes them as breathy voiced, attributing the medial voicelessness to a larger glottal opening gesture than is found in Hindustani breathy-voiced consonants.
12.
In whispering, only the voicing segments change, so that the vocal folds alternate between whisper and voicelessness ( though the acoustic difference between the two states is minimal ).
13.
Noah Pollak at " Commentary " predicted that the effort would fall flat and show there are no " great battalions of American Jewish doves languishing in voicelessness ".
14.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ??, a combination of the letter for the voiced bilabial nasal and a diacritic indicating voicelessness.
15.
With a properly designed font, combining diacritics ( such as the bridge for dental consonants, ring for voicelessness, etc . ) will work with superscript letters, as in } }.
16.
Here, the dental assimilation rule calls for the ending "-te ", which gives away the voicelessness of the previous sound even if the spelling of that sound itself does not:
17.
The symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represent the sound are } } and } }, combinations of the letter for the voiced alveolar nasal and a diacritic indicating voicelessness above or below the letter.
18.
Because voicelessness has comparatively reduced resistance to air flow from the lungs, the increased air flow creates more turbulence, making acoustic distinctions between voiceless approximants ( which are extremely rare cross-linguistically ) and voiceless fricatives difficult.
19.
In this position, lenition can be seen as a type of assimilation of the consonant to the surrounding vowels, in which features of the consonant that are not present in the surrounding vowels ( e . g . obstruction, voicelessness ) are gradually eliminated.
20.
A short period of voicelessness or " h ", known as preaspiration, before geminate consonants is observed, much as in Icelandic, but this is not marked, e . g . " jo???e "'to the river'is pronounced.
