That is, velar fricatives are not purely gutturals.
The extraordinary texture noted above is illustrated by the graph that follows - a fuller char ting and context for the guttural stops discussed above.
Note that this does not mean that a language with a phonemic laryngeal consonant will necessarily adapt all gutturals to that laryngeal.
Intrusive copy vowels only copy over sonorants and gutturals, unlike epenthetic copy vowels.
This is not to say, however, that an unavailable primitive always blocks the realisation of a foreign segment, be it a guttural or not.
It should be emphasised that this restriction to copying over sonorants and gutturals is true only of intrusive copy vowels, not of epenthetic copy vowels.
The aural effect is velvety but guttural.
We do not intend to debate the application of the term, though we will present arguments from loanword adaptation for including velar fricatives among the class of gutturals.
