1. juhbá [tʒuhpɑ́] "mittens"  -  Speaker: SP5

The unaspirated post-alveolar affricate j [tʃ] in word-initial position, here voiceless. Note also the duration of the stem-initial unaspirated bilabial stop b [b].

2. jíe [tʃiɛh] "berry"  -  Speaker: SP5

Another example of j [tʃ] in word-initial position, also voiceless. Note the way the fricative portion of the stop transitions into the vowel without any aspiration; contrast this with the aspiration of ch [tʃʰ].
