Hearable aspiration (breathing) is shown where it occurs in the
talk by the letter "h" -- the more h's, the more aspiration. The aspiration
may represent breathing, laughter, etc. If it occurs inside the boundaries
of a word, it may be enclosed in parentheses in order to set it apart
from the sounds of the word. If the aspiration is an inhalation, it
is shown with a dot before it (usually a raised dot). |
