IPA transcription
[edit]Shouldn't the first syllable be trascribed as "siŋ" instead of "siŋʷ"? --RayZa (talk) 17:44, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
- According to Ringe, the nasal assimilates both places of articulation from the following labiovelar, so it becomes a labiovelar nasal. This explains why the labialisation is lost in the sequence -ungw- > -ung-. —Rua (mew) 17:57, 28 December 2019 (UTC)
