O'Growney notes that at the beginning of words l, n and broad vowel are supra-dental or 'thick sound not in English' = L, N; while ll, nn are always = L, N and remarks that 'in many districts the people have simplified the pronunciation thus: l and broad vowel always = L; l and small vowel = l (i. e. mouillé)'. This process of simplification is very widely extended in Scotland. This is what Shaw meant by l, n, r seeming to sound reduplicated in place of aspiration, e. g. labhair mi 'I spoke = llabhair mi' — Analysis 16, 17.

Lip-Back-Continuant-Voice (w). This is similar in formation to English w. It occurs:

(1) For l in Eigg, also sporadically in Morar and Ardgour; e. g. (wā̯n) for (ḷɑɑn) làn 'full'; (bɑwɑx fuahsɑx waᵹax) balach fuathasach laghach 'an exceedingly fine fellow'; (wɑɑ̯v) làmh 'hand'; (ɛɔw) seol 'way, sail'. In Ireland I have noted for the County Clare mo làmh 'my hand' as (mɔ vɑɑv).
