3 Segmental phonology<br />

3.1.1.4.4 Preaspirated geminate affricates The segments /ʰʦː ʰʧː/ are preaspirated<br />

alveolar and postalveolar (respectively) geminate affricate phonemes. Just<br />

as with the preaspirated geminate plosives, the preaspirated geminate affricates<br />

only occur in the consonant center. The duration <strong>of</strong> the preaspiration and<br />

stop closure is longer in geminate affricates compared to their singleton affricate<br />

counterparts, while the duration <strong>of</strong> the fricative element is not phonologically<br />

relevant. Examples can be found in (66) and (67).<br />

(66) /maːʰʦːa-j/ máhttsaj<br />

[maːhtːsaj] ‘turn.around-3sg.pst’<br />

[6613]<br />

(67) /aːʰʧːe/ áhttje<br />

3.1.1.5 Fricatives<br />

The fricative series in <strong>Pite</strong> <strong>Saami</strong> consists <strong>of</strong> the phonemes and their phonetic<br />

realizations shown in Table 3.5 on the facing page.<br />

3.1.1.5.1 Singleton fricative consonants The segments /f v s ʃ h/ are singleton<br />

labiodental (unvoiced and voiced), alveolar, post-alveolar and glottal fricatives,<br />

all <strong>of</strong> which are attested in syllable onset and word-internal coda position. Some<br />

examples are provided in (68) through (75).<br />

(68) /taːfo-st/ dáfost<br />

[taːfostʰ]<br />

‘area-elat.sg’<br />
