Re: [glosalist] q x sc etc

There is a statement in one of the glosa books that the language is phonetic, One sound to each letter and one letter to each sound . However there are exceptions! . q, x and sc. I pronounce Glosa as in the International Phonetics Alphabet - much simpler for us all.In Glosa, ‘Q’ is pronounced kw !! I suggest that we write it as qu. ‘Q sounds much like k but further back in the throat.If we say ki the k is slightly forward and if we say ku, the k is further back and much like ipa q. problem almost solved!!!

il es u dice-ra in mo de plu glosa bibli ke u lingua es fonetik , mo soni a singu litera e mo litera a singu soni . anti-co la es plu excepti ! . ‘q’ ‘x’ _e ‘sc’ . mi du soni glosa homo in u internatio fonetik alfa-beta - mega ma simpli pro na panto . in glosa, ‘q’ gene soni ‘kw’ !!. mi du sugesti ke na du grafo id ‘qu’ ‘q’ du soni mega homo ‘k’ sed ma tele dorsa in u faringi .si na du dice ‘ki’ u ‘k’ es pusi avanti sed si na du dice ‘ku’ u ‘k’ es ma tele dorsa e mega homo ‘ipa’ ‘q’ problema pene gene solve !!!

*** As I recall it, the rule was that each Glosa letter has one distinct sounding.

 The opposite statement was not supposed to have been true.

 Thus ~q~  -->  KW

         ~c~  -->  CH

         ~s~  -->  SS

         ~x~  -->  KS
