This tives extra force or emphasis to t he conso nant. In fact, when Wasco was first written, these consonants were written with an exclamation point (I). Today, we write them by putting the sign fo r the glottal stop C) after the consonant letter. These sounds are called “ hard” or “ glottal,¡zed” consonants. One way to learn to pro nounce these consonants is to pretend th a t you have a little piece of paper on your,ip tha t you re trying to blow o ff s you say the consonant. For instance, to learn to pronounce” p’ ” imagine thatyou have a piece of - paper stuck to your lip th a t you are trying to blo o ff by pronouning “ p” with extra force. The Hard Consonnts are: c’ ch’ y: Sounds like “y ” in “yes” z: Sounds like “ z” in “ zoo” ‘ (glottal stop) sounds like a catch in the th ro a t; like the sound betw en “ p” and “ e” in :P,E,: n o t “ pee” b u t “ pee’ee” Numu k’ Information from Higher Education Department: Remember the FAFSA WORKSHOP Monday, February 13th from 9:00 am - 1 2 Noon in the Computer Labs top floor of the Education Building The University o f Oregon & The Confederated Tribes o f Warm Springs PRESENT “ Opportunities” WHO: Middle & High School Stu dents & there parents WHEN: Monday, February 13th from 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm WHERE: Warm Springs Education Building WHY: > Highlight opportunities after hig school > Identify the admission requirements > How to reduce the cost of attendance >How financial aid and scholarships work > UO Native student Am bassador panel.
