--- begin quote ---TKD glosses {QIch} as “speech (vocal sounds).” The notation “(vocal sounds)” is intended to denote that “speech” here means the phenomenon of speech as opposed to an address or oration – that’s {SoQ}. So {QIch} doesn’t refer to individual speech sounds or speech sounds collectively. An individual speech sound is {QIch wab} and speech sounds collectively are {QIch wabmey}.“Pronunciation” could be {QIch wab Ho’DoS}, more literally (but awkwardly) “speech-sound manner, speech-sound technique.”--- end quote ---
