Strings of 'Re' and 'ruh' can be difficult to pronounce, and a phrase with many 'R' in it can begin to sound like some kinda dog with a lazy bark, or a car that just won't start. Try saying the following words aloud: lrr trr (sing high) now this phrase: 'dr rr lrr trr r dr rr rrl rrt' (I sang high and I spoke low) Notice that in order to make each 'R' distinguishable from the last, you need to slow down and put a very definite vowel sound between them. The solution is to use a substitute sound that means the same thing. The following may only be used in speech. It isn't a rule, it's just a 'use it if you need to' thing.. In Sarus speech only, the 'K' sound is interchangeable with any second 'R' in a double 'R'. i.e. 'rr' becomes 'rk' drr : drk trr : trk Our earlier phrase becomes: 'dr rk drk trk r dr rkl rkt' Once again, note that this is only for speech. drr may be pronounced 'drk' but it should be written 'drr'. In colour, it would remain :d::r::r: and in numbers it would be 122. |
