Listen to the following pairs and try to concentrate on the final stops. The lenis stops / b, d, g / are virtually voiceless in this position. Final / p, t, k / tend to be glottalized, i.e. accompanied by a simultaneous glottal closure. In the case of / t /, the glottal stop frequently replaces rather than accompanies the oral closure.
