Appendix:Khoekhoe Swadesh list

Presentation
Words are written in the standardized Khoekhoe orthography, with a few additions. A dot (.) is used to separate the PGN (person-gender-number) enclitics from the root words. For example, khoeb "man" is written here as khoe.b. Slashes indicate multiple possible forms. For example, uri.b/-i/s means "urib or uri-i or uris." Parentheses within a word indicate optional letters. For example, ga(i)xu means "gaixu or gaxu." Parentheses may also indicate uncommon forms such as ǁgâi-i instead of ǁgan-i, or danab instead of danas. Abbreviations: m. masculine, f. feminine, c. common

Orthography
The following orthographical conventions differ from the IPA.


 * Nasalization is marked with a circumflex: â ô û î. Nasal vowels are long unless they are part of a diphthong.


 * b/p = [p] ([β] when between vowels), d/t = [t], g/k = [k]. When b, d, or g is used, it indicates a lower tonal pattern, while p, t, or k indicate a higher tonal pattern.


 * w = [β]


 * The glottal stop is not written when word-initial, but is written as a hyphen when word-internal.


 * ǀ ǁ ǃ ǂ = [ǀˀ ǁˀ ǃˀ ǂˀ]


 * ǀg ǁg ǃg ǂg = [kǀ kǁ kǃ kǂ]


 * ǀkh ǁkh ǃkh ǂkh = [kǀʰ kǁʰ kǃʰ kǂʰ] or [kǀˣ kǁˣ kǃˣ kǂˣ]


 * ǀn ǁn ǃn ǂn = [ᵑǀ ᵑǁ ᵑǃ ᵑǂ]


 * ǀh ǁh ǃh ǂh = [ŋ̊ǀʰ ŋ̊ǁʰ ŋ̊ǃʰ ŋ̊ǂʰ]


 * ts kh = [tsʰ kxʰ]
