mmråshá

Noun class (warm / cold)

Warm

• Reasoning: Animate animal.

Pronunciation

IPA: /m̩ɹau̯ʃɑ/ Phonotactics: The initial mm is a syllabic-nasal nucleus; the following r is the approximant /ɹ/ (not the tap ŕ), realised as the onset of the next syllable before the diphthong å. This onset /ɹ/ after a syllabic nasal is by design (mimetic of the meow) and is not subject to the r-cluster restriction in 22_Phonotactics & Euphony.
