<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="gI">LL-L "Phonology" 2010.02.26 (01) [EN]<br><br></span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I'm sorry if I keep bothering you with this item. My remark about the pronunciation of </span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">"cacao, depot, predikant </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">(=meikever),</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> tabak, </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">pronounced /toebak/, paletot" might have made you wonder how those words are really pronounced. This is certainly the case for </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">cacao. </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">First I must draw your attention to trhe fact that it is </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">not </span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">a
three-syllable word, sounding much like /kakajo:/, as in some
Brabantish dialects, if you ask me a rather ludicrous pronunciation. In
fact, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">cacao</span><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> in Getelands
sounds exactly like in General Dutch (Algemeen Beschaafd), but for the
place of the accent: in Gen. D. on the final syllable, in Getel. on the
first. It bothers me to have to make explanations about pronunciation
in such a roundabout fashion, whereas it could all be done neatly and
quickly in phonetic spelling. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way yet
to use IPA fonts in my mails.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Best regards,</span><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="im">
