Voiced Lateral Approximant

ghelch’úl [ɣɛltʃ’úl] "smile" - Speaker: SP9

An example of a voiced lateral l [l] realized as an approximant in syllable-final position, before the stem-initial consonant ch’ [tʃ’]. This is clearly an approximant. The length of the segment is characteristic of consonants in this position in the word.
