’ [ʔ]

Glottal Stop

Dene Sųłiné, Lac Brochet

dáhó’ą [dɑ́hóʔɑ̃] "locate"  -  Speaker: SP9

An example of a glottal stop ’ [ʔ] in stem-initial position. As with all stem-initial consonants, the closure period is quite long. There is some gloattlization in the following vowel, but not a great deal. Note the intervocalic h [h] in this example is realized as a voiced fricative; contrast this with the sounds h [h] and x [x~h], which are less fricative-like than h [h] in this token.
