V. I. W. the vowel i : The spectrograms show a steady formant level for and i but a gliding change for i:y-, iyi- and * I', 's Formant frequency Table i У 1 Уз F, 200 250 200 F, 4000 3200 3800 The gliding from i to y, which is the onset of the follo wing syllable is wavy and open at both the ends. The gliding from i to y, which is the coda of the preceding syllable is gradual and more elongated. The sequence of iv, J'e is longer than i or iy among which iv is longer than i. Spectrograms of the u set also show the same difference even though v is not the identical approximant. v is a corresponding approximant which is frictionless continuant having the configuration between the lower lip and upper teeth coming side by side in a horizantal position leaving a narrow slit like apperture. 3.2 Non-vocalic The following words are analysed for the obstruents and Sonorants. / pakkam f / pankam / / ра: кат / / рассат / / pañcam / / pacu / / pan gam ! / a : tu / f pa t tam / pри / / тапат / / pa : / añar / / pantti / / panri / / annann / / аппат / 263 / pa : tam / spa : pain s / pu !i | / pulli /
