It is to be noted that the sounds represented by g, t, k, h, gh, and ch,
ts (when heavily aspirated) are palatalized before e, i, and labialized
before o. By this it is meant that such a word as ké (shoe) is
pronounced as though it were written kyé, and tó (water) as though
written twó.
Due to the nature of the gh sound, it practically resolves itself into a
w when followed by o. Thus tálághosh (soap) could be written táláwosh,
yishgho{l-} (I'm running) as yishwo{l-} etc.
k and h can also be pronounced as kw and hw before e, i, in which case
the combination is a distinct phoneme. In such cases the w must be
written. Thus kwe'é (here), kwii (here), hwii (satisfaction) etc.
