[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl: [qb] 2) [b]x[/b] in Maya is pronounced /sh/ but [b]s[/b] in Mande is pronounced as in saw /s/. In linguistics you compare identical sounds. [/qb][/QUOTE]The Mande /s/ agrees with the Mayan /x/. There are other examples of this analogy besides Xi and Si. It is also interesting to note that many Quiche words beginning with /x/ which is pronounced 'sh', correspond to words borrowed from Malinke-Bambara by Mayan speakers, with an initial /s/ e.g., [list] [*]Quiche Malinke-Bambara xab' rain sa ixa? seed ..si uxe root .. sulu, suru [/list] This is regular sound correspondence. . .
