2.2.3.2. Reduced forms

Sometimes only a part of a word is mouthed.  In these cases, the mouthed part is always in the beginning of the word:

 

  

       [paa]

expensive

 

In this example, [paa], which is part of pahalฤฑ, the word for โ€˜expensiveโ€™ in Turkish, is mouthed, accompanying the manual sign.
