Exempel på fortis

• All the descriptions of the separation of gold and silver by means of aqua fortis assume such a conservation of the silver in the acid.

• Among the 130 syllables, on average, 34 fortis and 14 nasal geminate consonants were found.

• In other contexts fortis consonants have been labelled as merely ' fortis ' and not geminate, which is also often reflected in single letter spelling.

• While medial and final fortis stops are up to four times longer than lenis ones,13 duration is neutralised in initial position.

• Obstruents (stops, fricatives and affricates) were grouped into lenis, fortis and aspirated.

• Duration measurements, though, show solid and consistent length differences, with fortis stops being almost three times as long as lenis ones.

• Reliabilities for fortis and geminate consonants were calculated separately.

• What a difference the nature of the fortis-lenis distinction makes.

• They include, for instance, the fortis-lenis (roughly voicelessvoiced) distinction, since the devoicing of lenis consonants was found to cause serious intelligibility problems in lingua franca communication.

• Fifth, voiceless obstruents and ' fortis ' nasal consonants may occur before interrupted sequences.

• Gimson (1980 : 155) considers voiceless ' fortis ' stops to be ' weakly aspirated ' in these positions.

• The result is that voiceless fricatives are inherently rather than derivatively fortis whereas, parallel to the voiced series of stops, voiced fricatives are lenis and only weakly or coincidentally voiced.

• Fricatives include only lenis and fortis distinctions.

• Aqua fortis (nitric acid) was used for separating the metals.

• If interrupted vowels are single nuclei, then a strong generalisation may be made regarding the distribution of voiceless and fortis consonants, that is, they are limited to final syllables.
