I read this, took one glance at the problem, and can already tell you it is different realizations of the same word (sorta) that all start with labial (lips) sounds but change nasal/voicing qualities based on the sound before it. This sort of thing is very common in all languages. An easy example is English weak past tense. Walked is pronounced /walkt/ due to walk ending in voiceless /k/, while pegged is pronounced /p3gd/ due to the voiced /g/ before it. But the end of these words in past tense are the same morpheme.

God damnit I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread today.
I always stress a lot before I get together with my family.
But it always ends up great.
I hope it is same for you.

Fuck this thread.
Get quality time with your family and take a break from this site for a while.
We'll pause the thread while Huber spends some time with his family.
Lock the thread.
is this frustration because you want to look at the problems or because it's distracting you from things you are stressing that need to be done?
Stop replying to him he is going to join the thread again and get distracted by Linguistics Problems!
We all can keep working on the current open ones I just won't open anything new so that the thread is still at the same place when Huber gets back
It aint that serious. It was a "oh darnit now I wanna do the problem" lol
Please continue

zeti men elüw üs
otiz segiz ben bes
Convenience store notes and rice crackers bag:
I am gunna look up the "men" realization of "and" because I think kazakh speakers have an obstruent /r/. Shouldn't effect the problem much, just would need more steps to make the same conclusion
