no way of writing a glottal stop in the standard Latin alphabet or in Cree syllabics. Wolfart's grammar contains a text sample which includes this word without a glottal stop, and in his synopsis of Plains Cree sounds no mention of this sound is made. The same word also occurs in Michif, a language derived in part from Plains Cree. There it appears with a final consonant (and nasalized vowels), as aenhenk “yes". There is a degree of variation in the sounds ᐨ c and ᐢ s . On the Sweetgrass Reserve in Saskatchewan in 1925, ᐨ c was either alveolar or palatoalveolar , but ᐢ s was normally alveolar , and only abnormally palatoalveolar . In contrast to this, Michif words of Plains Cree origin at Turtle Mountain, North Dakota, invariably have palatoalveolar pronunciation for both of these sounds. Voicing of the stops and the affricate is not contrastive in Plain Cree, which is to say that the phonemes ᑊ p , ᐟ t , ᐠ k , ᐨ c have voiceless allophones , , , and voiced allophones , , , . According to Wolfart and Carroll, the distribution of voiceless and voiced allophones is complementary: voiceless allophones occur in unvoiced phonological contexts; voiced allophones occur in voiced contexts. The context limit is word boundary, not phrase boundary. So voiceless variants occur at the beginning of a word, at the end of a word, and after ᐦ h or ᐢ s . The voiced variants occur in all other situations. However, other distributions of voiceless versus voiced sounds are possible. Bloomfield reported the same voicing pattern as a possibility for the phoneme ᐠ k /k/, but did not mentioned it for ᑊ p /p/, ᐟ t /t/, or ᐨ c /t͡s/. The Plains Cree component of Michif shows a different pattern with respect to voicing. Plains Cree ᑊ p , ᐟ t , ᐠ k , ᐨ c , and also ᐢ s normally correspond to the Michif sounds p , t , k , ch , and sh , which in Michif do not have voiced allophones. Michif has voiced sounds b , d , g , j , and zh which are distinct phonemes, and in some cases the Plains Cree sounds correspond to these. These cases all involve syncope of vowel i that results in a cluster of nasal consonant plus stop, affricate or sibilant.
