ł [ɬ]

Voiceless Lateral Fricative

North Slavey, Deline

1. łech’á [ɬetʃ’á] "distance apart"  -  Speaker: SP8

The voiceless lateral fricative ł [ɬ] in word-initial position. Note also the post-alveolar ejective affricate ch’ [tʃ’]; in this example, this sounds does not show the characteristic ejective pattern, and may be perceptually an aspirated affricate ch [tʃʱ] instead.

2. denełée [tɛnɛ̃ɬé] "someone"  -  Speaker: SP8

The voiceless lateral fricative ł [ɬ] in stem-initial position between two vowels. Note that the voicing of the vowel extends into the first part of the fricative.
