Basic pronounciation:
Vowels:
the Welsh ll
the Spanish ñ

Consonants:
sch as in English school
There are several ways to pronounce ktk and tkt, depending upon one's accent
-- pronounce /kt/ /tk/, or /kt/ /k/, or what one anthropologist described as
"a strangled sound, like he was trying to get rid of flem."

Anthropological Notes:
In this society, those who reach puberty are kicked out of the village, and
must find residence at another village - the further the better; a point
that childhood stories have reinforced in their minds.
Once they have found such a village - one whose motifs match no part of the
wanderer's tattoo, the wanderer is initiated into adulthood (part of
citizenship).



In the following table, it is the "vowels" which are underscored.
Where there is an underscore without a letter above the line, that denotes
what the word looks like, minus the infix.
