| Â | TRINPsite: Book of Symbols: The Choice of Vowel(s) and Consonant(s) |
 | | The consonant we are looking for has, just like the vowel, to be 'universal' in that it exists in all languages (or in as many languages as possible) and in that it can appear at any place in the morphemes of those languages. | | | The velar nasal ng is not a 'neutral' consonant in that it can solely appear at the end of a yun --it cannot appear at the beginning of a syllable in the present language either (and the r does not appear in other yuns than er). | | | And there is another reason why the plosive obstruent k does not fulfil our requirements: it cannot appear at all positions in the words of certain languages. |

| | Unlike the null vowel and the null consonant, the null tone isn’t even considered a letter - it's not written. | | | The two systems can be mixed with no ambiguity, for example using the diacritic consonants with the digraph vowels. | | | The first is the glottal stop, which serves in Shwah as the null consonant. |

| | There appears to be little reason, then, to add labiodentalized or palatalized consonants to the phonetic inventory of Len, claim this is precipitated by the high central unrounded vowel, and then subsequently have to argue that this feature spreads back to the vowel, or syllable nucleus. | | | In looking at the first degree (`superclose') vowels of many Bantu languages, and their spirantizing effect on preceding consonants, Zoll proposes that these vowels be defined as [+consonantal], in order to distinguish them from high vowels and capture their influence on preceding consonants. | | | To summarize this section, from the distributional evidence examined it is apparent there is one vowel in Len which may be termed a fricative vowel. |
