Is there a problem in representing aspiration on vowels as "breathy"?
@MuffinLinwist Have you adopted this solution for Urarina? Would be nice to have this solved for the NP-release. You can then just close this issue
Converting the northernperu dataset into CLDF, I run into some CLTS sound class errors. Urarina faces processes of postvocalic aspiration in between syllables since the language does not accept consonants on coda position (Olawsky 2006, pp. 40-1). The solution adopted so far is to transcribe it in the ortho-profile as:
This strategy deletes the information. The grammar mentions that this phenomenon is optional (pp. 41). It appears, however, often throughout the dataset.
On the other hand, tanscribing it as
iʰtʃ i ʰtʃ
does not quite reflect the insertion of /h/ after vowels. Below, I copy some of the CLTS errors I get:<<ʰ>>tʃ u ∼ !ṹ/u ∼<<ʰ>>s !í/I<<ʰ>>k u a t i h j !á/a n a ∼ a ∼@LinguList or @xrotwang, how can we better represent this aspiration?
