| It is relatively easy to learn to produce the fricatives corresponding to all the major places of articulation. |
| We can note, for instance, the general avoidance of fricatives and affricates in pidgin phonological inventories. |
| It would then make sense to reconstruct a corresponding set of velar and labiovelar fricatives. |
| But then, little by little, the words become only sounds, a random collection of glottals and fricatives, a storm of whirling phonemes. |
| Moreover, fricatives can be targeted by the glottal feature, but are optimally realised as sonorants in such cases. |
| The sounds that agree in voicing comprise stops, fricatives, and affricates. |
