ghelch’úl [ɣɛltʃ’úl] "smile" - Speaker: SP9

The post-alveolar ejective affricate ch’ [tʃ’] in stem-initial position between two vowels. This token demonstrates a common characteristic of affricates: the closure period, rather than the release period, is compressed in this position. The release period maintains its duration and quality.
