Comments
/awë/ is realized as /u/.
/ë/ is inserted as a transition sound between /h/ and /m/ and is rounded to /u/.
/wa/ is realized as /o/, and /w/ is elided in final position after a vowel.
Note: The underlying for is the same as that glossed "I see you (two people)." It is not clear that all seakers understand the different phonological treatment as constituting a different meaning.
