single-syllable isolation - these syllables are listed below. Theoretically though, any combination of syllable-final consonants (see below) followed by any syllable-initial consonant is possible. It is likely, however, that reduction would occur, as in the word ushitong ‘soup-stirrer’ (from shir and utoŋ) in which the /r/ has been dropped. Also, when final ⟨nn⟩ stems precede stems beginning with ⟨n⟩, the double ⟨nn⟩+⟨n⟩ is reduced to just ⟨n⟩. This effect can be shown in words such as munae (munn-náe) ‘be abundant’, and in munji (munn-nji) ‘forget’. In CV positions, the following consonants are used: p ts t c k b (d) (g) mb nd nj ŋg f s sh h v z nz m n ŋ r l While in C(C)VC final positions, the following are used instead: b r g m n* ŋ* And the following are used in CC clusters: With Cw: pw, mbw, bw, fw, mw, sw (?), cw, njw, jw, shw, kw, ngw, and ŋw With Cy: py, mby With Ck: pk, tk, fk, sk With Cg: mbg, ndg Consonant clusters In 1964, Peter Ladefoged recorded the phonetics of multiple West African languages. One of these languages was Kuteb, and these were his findings: Notes References External links http://www.koeppe.de/titel_details.php?id=514 https://web.archive.org/web/20120405160934/http://lingweb.eva.mpg.de/numeral/Kuteb.htm http://www.koeppe.de/titel_details_print.php?id=514 http://globalrecordings.net/en/language/1757 The Recapitulating Pronouns in Kuteb Jukunoid languages Languages of Nigeria Languages of Cameroon
