Table of Contents for the Upcoming Swo Transition Primer


This is the table of contents for the transition primer that we are planning to write. It is a much smaller one than was needed for the Nzime and for the Badwe'e, owing to the smaller inventory of phonemes and graphemes. Since we are using a phonemic orthography, we spare ourselves the need of teaching the use of allophones.

For example, we teach "d" in radical initial position and use it in radical-medial position, where it has the sound of "r". Were we to use the lettre "r" in that position, we would have been obliged to teach its use in a separate lesson from the lesson on "d".
