ABSTRACT
We find by commutation (see §5.3) that there are 24 distinctive units which are consonantal both in terms of their position in syllables (see §5.6) and also, in the majority of cases, in terms of their phonetic nature (i.e. they have, at least in some of their realizations, articulations involving the obstructions or narrowings which produce, acoustically, a noise component-see §4.2).
