Palatal Approximant

1. deneyáhdá [tɛnejɛ́htə́] "chin"  -  Speaker: SP5

The palatal approximant y [j] intervocalically. Note also the two instances of d [t] in this example; both are voiceless. The length of the stem-initial d [t] in the final syllable is characteristic for stem-initial consonants.
