Manager is Claire; Paroma is not present

----------

Oral dental stop are unmarked ([t] rather than [t̪]).
Syllable boundaries are somewhat speculative; some were made clear when the word was pronounced slowly, but I did not make note of which. Stress is not marked.

----------

Some phonological clarifications in preparation for the paper:

the dog – ku.kur.ʈa
house – ba.ɽi
goodbye – ʈa.ʈa
car – ga.ɽi
how – kæ.mon (as in “how are you“)
strange – aʃ.t͡ʃor.d͡ʒo
very – kʰup [neutral]
           bhiʃ.hon [somewhat negatively slanted]
           pro.t͡ʃon.ɖo [somewhat negatively slanted]
forgive me – kɔ.ma ko.ro (not certain on the aspiration here)
to fall – pɔ.ra

           mo.re gæ.lo (he died, as if it happened in front of you – I was sitting next to him and he died, a first-person narrative)
           mara d͡ʒa.wa OR more d͡ʒa.wa (d͡ʒa.wa is the “abstract form“ of the verb, the noun form as he describes it – “to go“ with gæ.lo as “went“, then ge.le as a conditional, either mor.t͡ʃʰe OR d͡ʒa.t͡ʃʰe in the present)

Idea: Halloween-themed story elicitation to get some things on bones and possession, because of the apparent sound change in the /ɽʰ/ there?
