- [danwa] ~ [ðanwa] 'man' […] The /d/ phoneme has a dialect alternant of /y/ heard in words such as: danwa/yanwa 'man'; and: de:/ye: 'tree'. Some words such as danwa/ðanwa (a sub-phonemic intradialect variant for the Cunucunuma; also, the latter represents the cabecereña or headwater dialect) clearly have the dialect alternant yanwa. This produces three dialect alternants […] danwa - man
