Allophonic Description and Distribution of Consonants:
|
1.5.9.1.
|
Kuvi is a vowel ending language and so the occurrence of
consonants in word final position is very rare. If at all they occur, it
is only in loan words, onomatopoeic words, and bound morphemes. Therefore
the environments given below generally exclude word-final position.
Allophonic variation is very rare and is given where it does occur.
