However, the fact that the sequences and occur, when no other homorganic sequence is allowed, suggests that and may not both be glottal . ( Additional evidence that might best be analyzed as velar is the fact that is not found, and that is only found medially, in the single known word " fox " .)

Stacked consonants are always homorganic ( pronounced in the same place in the mouth ), which indicated by the traditional arrangement of the Burmese alphabet into five-letter rows of letters called . ( Consonants not found in a row beginning with " k, c, t, " or " p " can only be doubled that is, stacked with themselves .)

"' Homorganic consonants "'( from " homo-" " same " and " organ " " ( speech ) organ " ) is a phonetics term for consonant sounds that are articulated in the same position or place of articulation in the mouth, such as ( pronounced with both lips ), or ( pronounced by touching the tip of the tongue to the upper gums ).
44.
Stops in final position are not released; varies freely with, and can also be pronounced; can surface as a trill ( mostly in word-initial and syllable-final positions ), and geminate is always a trill, e . g . " zar " ( 'little') versus well-trilled " zarr " ( 'particle'), this happens in loanwords of palatal and velar nasals occur only in consonant clusters, where each nasal is followed by a homorganic stop, as an allophone of a nasal vowel followed by a stop, and in Sanskrit loanwords.

:: There have been a number of linguistic changes that are attributable to increasing the phonetic differences between two similar phonemes; it's easier to distinguish between and than and, it's easier to distinguish and from than, etc . If I recall correctly, another driving factor in phonetic change is ease of articulation; it's easier to pronounce as palatalized before front vowels ( ), it's easier to pronounce than, it's easier to pronounce pre-obstruent nasals as homorganic to such obstruents, etc .
