19) Examples of /m/ [makŒn] ‘hand’ [míistun] ‘cat’ [mus"tíin] ‘forehead’ [slamŒm’a&] ‘shiny’ [’aqtím] ‘one’ [laqas"úum] ‘thin layer of tortilla’ [smuk%úk h u&] ‘yellow’ [s"mití] ‘s/he spins (yarn)’ [#mumóq h o&] ‘fair-skinned’ [c"imps"] ‘s/he blinks’ [k%min] ‘I come’ [spímw&a&] ‘agile’ 2.3.4.2 /n/. /n/ is a voiced alveolar nasal that occurs syllable-initially or –finally. Syllableinitially it can follow any coronal fricative, and in tautomorphemic codas it may precede only the homorganic affricate c", and only in two forms, ‘aaqc%iínc" ‘mare’, and laqc%iinc" ‘diaper’. Across a morpheme boundary n can also precede the other homorganic stop and affricate t and ts syllablefinally (not tl because it cannot appear in a coda). n assimilates in place to a following stop or affricate, and deletes preceding any consonant to which it cannot assimilate in place and manner (see §2.6.1.1.2). Degemination of n-n sequences at morphological junctures is exceptionless. 20) Examples of /n/ [nak%ú] ‘heart’ [nips"i&] ‘winter squash’ [nuu] ‘s/he is in’ [snuun] ‘grave, extreme [s"tíilan] ‘hen’ [s"pinín] ‘intense red’ [#napáp h a&] ‘pallid’ [s"neeq h ] ‘it withers’ [k%nii] ‘I die’ [’aqc"íinc"] ‘mare’ [q%ós"nunt’i&] ‘run!’ [k%waayánts’] ‘I already eat’ 2.3.5 Approximants. Besides the nasals, Filomeno Mata Totonac has three other sonorant consonants, the lateral l and glides w and y. All occur syllable-initially and –finally, and often undergo postlexical glottalization pre-pausally. These phonemes differ in their ability to form initial clusters, and none combine with other consonants in tautomorphemic codas. 2.3.5.1 /l/. /l/ is a voiced alveolar lateral approximant that can appear syllable-initially and – finally, although in syllable-final position it optionally but frequently spirantizes to ". It can occur following s or # in an initial consonant cluster (or after the k- prefix), but is not found in coda clusters. It cannot occur adjacent to the lateral fricative due to a constraint on approximants preceding featurally similar segments. ! ",!
21) Examples of /l/ [laaqtsín] ‘s/he sees it’ [lips"i&] ‘tobacco’ [luuwa&] ‘snake’ [#tantŒl’a&] ‘naked’ [spilíl’i&] ‘multi-colored’ [q%olú#’u&] ‘spherical’ [slaxáx] ‘sharp’ [s"láwat h i&] ‘drool’ [k%láma] ‘I am living’ In a single derived verb, /l/ is realized as a tap: 22) /ta-la-mii/ INCH-live-DOWN [ta$amí’i&] ‘s/he lays him/her down’ 2.3.5.2 /w/. /w/ is a voiced labio-velar approximant that can appear syllable-initially and –finally, and can follow any coronal fricative in an onset. Except for the compound skawawáwuun (
