Some Notes on the Phonology of the Nzema and Ahanta Dialects

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 December 2009

Extract

The domain of h- and q- which are prosodic features is stated in this paper to be the radical and its immediate extensions and affixes: for example, *h(edide), eating, is phonetically elile, and *q(edade), sleeping, is phonetically date. But as in other Akan languages, especially Twi, h- and q- may prove in Nzema also to be a feature of larger pieces.
