Example text

1. A. [ɛ] in ǦbA. My impression was that it could reach up to [ı] in ǦbA, and often with a following glottal stop when fijinal [ɛ] represented fijinal -ā or –āʾ. g. wāsʿih # “wide (sg. )”, sabʿih # “seven”, ilFātḥih # “the Fātiḥah sūrah”, ibīḥih “animal for slaughter”.  Prosodic lengthening of short vowels To express extra emphasis, such as on long durations of time, long distances, great quantities and the like, speakers often prosodically lengthen short vowels. Examples are: la ḥa dd sanah xamsih “(I was in school all the time) until the fijifth year” and iysallūh ʿala nnāṛ ki iy lamma yanšaf “they cook it over the fijire like this (all the time) until it dries”.

Gathering Linguistic Material In principle, the mode of operations described in De Jong 2000:23–30 was followed for this research as well. e. Difffijiculties during Field Research Problems connected to conducting research in Sinai have been referred to before,53 and since the times of my previous research in northern Sinai, matters in this respect have hardly changed for the better. If anything, local authorities have become all the more wary of foreigners who exhibit no particular interest in diving and/or sunshine.

Demonstrative is without velarization: (hā-) a ~ iʾ “this”. Velarization spreads into the long ā in kuḅḅāyih in all dialects, except in ǦbA and HnA (there kubbāyih) and in all dialects, except LA, the pl. A. [ɛ ]) and also kamān “also” is not velarized. In LA, however, the pl. for kibīr is velarized, while the pl. A. A. [kθæ r]). e. and (u)ḳul, (u)ḳliy, etc. and similarly so in LA, but there without the initial u-. Imperfect forms vary (per dialect) in degree of velarization, but all dialects (though in ASA yākul ~ yākil) have u as a base vowel: yāxu , yāḳul.
