Reductions

Reduction processes, like the syllabification of /m/, /n/ and /l/ under elision of schwa, do not have to be transcribed. Otherwise we would also have to indicate assimilation processes, which could easily lead to inconsistentencies (see also Consonants).

Example: allem Q'al@m
  daneben dan'e:b@n
  Einzelheiten Q'aInts@lhaIt@n
