The data in (1) show sample contrasts between the labial consonants in Mono. (1) a. Labial consonants before = in word-initial position: =(( =(( =(( =(( ‘at’ F F= F= ‘say’ > >=@= >=@= >=@= >=@= ‘rock’ > >=J= >=J= >=J= >=J= ‘stool’ B B= B= ‘become’ L L= L= ‘pour’ = = = = ‘show’ M M= M= ‘send’ b. Labial consonants before = in word-medial position: = = = = ‘illness’ F =F=( =F=( ‘tsetse fly’ > (>= (>= (>= (>= ‘clothes’ > =>= =>= =>= =>= ‘knife’ B = = = = AB= AB= ‘mid-wife’ L C=L= C=L= ‘panther’ CK= CK= CK= CK= ‘prepare’ M =M=( =M=( =M=( =M=( ‘gruel’ 2.1.2 Alveolar consonants Nine alveolar consonants are attested in Mono: , J, @, @ @, @ @ I, , , H, and . The phoneme H is pronounced as a trill [H]. It is often lengthened in discourse, as in the word [(H(] ‘until’. The phoneme l is pronounced as [l], with no velarization. The implosive is rare, only occurring in seven lexical items in my corpus: (2) AA AA AA AA ‘who’ C=A C=A C=A C=A ‘what’ =(=MK( =(=MK( =(=MK( =(=MK( ‘hiccough’ ( ( ( ( ‘monkey’ K= K= K= K= ‘debt’ J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( ‘voice’ ‘toe’ However, two of these words, AA AA AA AA ‘who’ and C=A C=A C=A C=A ‘what’, are common in discourse. In some lexical items, varies freely with its plosive counterpart, e.g. J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( J5=(C(H( ~ J5=(@C(H( J5=(@C(H( J5=(@C(H( J5=(@C(H( ‘voice’. Also, it is not attested in word-initial position. Because of these factors, I consider it to be a marginal phoneme. 32
