KGT 22: Speaking in a manner that is sort of between that of the Krotmag region and {ta' Hol} are the peoples of Tak'ev ({taq'ev}), who, though still a minority population, greatly outnumber the residents of Krotmag. These people maintain the distinction between /b/ and /m/ but pronounce the /b/ as if it were /mb/; that is, starting off as the /m/ sound but ending up at a /b/. Similarly, /D/ is pronounced more like /nD/ (or, more accurately, /ND/). Thus {ba'} ("sit") would be pronounced more like {mba'}; {Hub} ("defend") would sound like {Humb}; {Du'} ("farm") would be {NDu'}; {HoD} ("captain") would be {HoND}; and {Dub} ("improve") would be {NDumb}. The nasal vowel quality found in the Krotmag region is characteristic of Tak'ev speech as well.
Does Tak'ev {taq'ev} - or Krotmag {Qotmagh} for that matter - show up in the paq'batlh?
