ayő instead of ayo

[michael-conrad]

6. AYO- This sounds likes it’s going downhill, with the highest tone coming first. Whereas I know “ayo” to be said in a strong uphill shape, like ‘quick1-quick4’ perhaps with a bit of trailing downslur. Being an interjection of pain/surprise, there’s a lot of distance between the tones and that 4 is real high. For reference, it’s said by Juksvsd in the Inage’i cartoon at about -20:07.

I pulled this one from a non-CED source, Beginning Cherokee I think, which means no tone marks were available. Based on your description of the sound, we should probably try ayő and not ayo to be its pronunciation. I'll generate an audio sample and share.

Three of them sound better. Does the one marked ayo_en-360 still sound like it’s going downhill to you, though?

[michael-conrad]

Yes, 360-en does sound incorrect. I think that one is off.

Do the tone markings for “ayo” need to be changed in Chapter 4?

[michael-conrad]

Yes. I will need to change them.
