Description
In this paper, I describe the phonetic inventory of Mehweb, consonants and vow-
els, as well as the main productive alternations. Two separate sections treat the
rules of syllable structure and give a preliminary treatment of pharyngealization.
In Mehweb, pharyngealization is a feature which extends the basic vowel inventory
(i, e, a, u) to include oʕ (the pharyngealized variant of u, along with pharyngealized
iʕ, eʕ, aʕ, uʕ ) and the inventory of radical and laryngeal consonants by the process
of epiglottalization (where ʡ is a pharyngealized variant of ʔ and ʜ is a pharyngeal-
ized variant of ħ).
