Abstract This paper reports some temporal measurements of glottalic ejective consonants. Measurements of pre-release silence before stops, the time from consonant release to vowel onset, and the post-release silent interval are obtained and submitted to analyses of variance. Also several interesting properties emerge from the study. First, the silent interval between release of consonant and vowel onset is an important factor relating to the characterization of voice onset time. Second, F2 and…
