A better version might be _a ih-ammkw_ (double the m, giving it a value of
/m:/ instead of /m/ > /B~/), intensifying the verbal action, rendering the
meaning "That's what I really like."

The topicalized object _a_ 'that' (obviative) probably elides the initial
glottal stop of the verb, so the first syllable of the utterance is more
like [ai)], possibly becoming [&] under sandhi rules.
