Re: Ng'and'ana

I'll give it a try, but I might be wrong/outdated with some of these
terms:

With /f/>/p/ and /v/>/b/ I know what's happening (fricative>stop) but
I don't know what the proper term is...
/k/>/x/ (which is Q in your orthography) is
spirantisation/"fricativisation", I think.
/d/>/t/ is devoicing.
/g/>/N/ (which is NG in your orthography) is nasalisation.
/s/>/z/ is voicing.

/m/>/n/ is a little strange if it happens normally in your "guttural"
process, but /mt/>/nt/ for example would be assimilation...

Someone correct meeeee! :)

Imperative

bed time!) to explain phonetic jargon, but I will tomorrow night if
nobody
else does by then.
