The phonology of Lamnsoʼ was first described in detail in Grebe and Grebe (1976), hereafter G&G (1976). That early work did not use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This present paper attempts for the most part to be a brief summary of that early work while using modern IPA symbols for all the phonetic data1. The present sketch attempts to summarize the Grebes’ work by describing various phonological alternations in a series of charts with a bare minimum of prose explanation and almost no examples. The reader who wants more details or examples of these variations should examine the longer and more detailed version done by G&G (1976).
