Among the 130 syllables, on average, 34 fortis and 14 nasal geminate consonants were found. In other contexts fortis consonants have been labelled as merely ' fortis ' and not geminate, which is also often reflected in single letter spelling. While medial and final fortis stops are up to four times longer than lenis ones,13 duration is neutralised in initial position. Obstruents (stops, fricatives and affricates) were grouped into lenis, fortis and aspirated. Duration measurements, though, show solid and consistent length differences, with fortis stops being almost three times as long as lenis ones. Reliabilities for fortis and geminate consonants were calculated separately. What a difference the nature of the fortis-lenis distinction makes. They include, for instance, the fortis-lenis (roughly voicelessvoiced) distinction, since the devoicing of lenis consonants was found to cause serious intelligibility problems in lingua franca communication. Fifth, voiceless obstruents and ' fortis ' nasal consonants may occur before interrupted sequences. Gimson (1980 : 155) considers voiceless ' fortis ' stops to be ' weakly aspirated ' in these positions. The result is that voiceless fricatives are inherently rather than derivatively fortis whereas, parallel to the voiced series of stops, voiced fricatives are lenis and only weakly or coincidentally voiced. Fricatives include only lenis and fortis distinctions. Aqua fortis (nitric acid) was used for separating the metals. If interrupted vowels are single nuclei, then a strong generalisation may be made regarding the distribution of voiceless and fortis consonants, that is, they are limited to final syllables.
