:= " Preconsonantal voiceless non-continuants ( i . e . voiceless stops ) changed into corresponding voiceless continuants ( Iranian " when immediately followed by a continuant consonant ( i . e . resonants and fricatives ).
32.
Prior's work on tense logic provides a systematic and extended defence of a tensed conception of reality in which material objects are construed as three-dimensional continuants which are wholly present at each moment of their existence.
33.
This means that all sounds with either the feature [ + continuant ] ( able to be lengthened in pronunciation ) or [ + voice ] ( pronounced with vibration of the vocal chords ) are excluded from the class.
34.
However, in Renaissance and modern Spanish, the sounds of the two letters have assimilated, and both are pronounced ( bilabial v ) when following a vowel ( or continuant ) and as otherwise ( after a pause ).
35.
CC clusters consist of a continuant followed by a plosive, fricative, or affricate; in CCC clusters, the first consonant must be one of or, the second either or a voiceless fricative, and the third or.
36.
The letter " re " represents a flapped [ ~ ] or a trilled [ r ] rhotative resonant continuant, depending on the position within a word / name, and whether it appears singly or doubly.
37.
Although the pair ~ has been described as a fricative and an approximant, respectively, the lack of a consistent contrast between the two phonetic categories and a similar patterning with other fricative pairs suggests that they are better described as continuants.
38.
Another common distinction is between "'occlusives "'( stops and nasals ) and "'continuants "'( all else ); affricates are considered to be both, because they are sequences of stop plus fricative.
39.
If the glottalized continuant is followed by a consonant, the glottalized phoneme is not released, i . e . " man "-khu-cha " ( be . able-INCOM-NEG ) is not yet possible.
40.
For instance, it excludes voiceless fricatives, which have the feature [ + continuant ], voiced stops, which have the feature [ + voice ], and liquids and vowels, which have the features [ + continuant ] and [ + voice ].
