AE sound?

[Dave Robertson]

Lhush pulakli,

Uk <ae> tintin dret khakwa Basten <a> khapa "hat", "cat", "can-can".
That <ae> sound is just like English <a> in the above words.

On our handout at the conference, the *Chinuk-wawa* example given for <ae> was <phae>, meaning "pear", but the vowel sound in *English* <pear> would be written <e> in the current alphabet.

Good question, though!
Dave
