This is an excerpt from a story entitled Îktomnî Pithpithan Wagichibi Cha Woparhte Zehâ. I have listened to the audio of the story to determine the voicing of /θ/~/ð/ and /ħ/~/ʕ/, as these sounds are ambiguous in the text. I have also added glottal stops as well as transcribing it into the Alexis orthography. Voicing of /ð/ and /ʕ/ is indicated in the Morley text by an underline. I am unsure if this is correct use of the underline in that orthography.

As some of the accented letters are not independently encoded by Unicode, the accents may not appear in the positions they should on your computer.
