- : Note: This syllable has a variant pronunciation jim, noted by Campbell, and Ko and Taan. A possible explanation is attraction of the nasal to the position of a following stop as in jixmbad < jixnbad, jixmbeeng < jixnbeeng. If this is the case, the usage was later extended, for it occurs also in the combinations jixmcid, jixmzøex, jixmzhefng, jixmzhud, jixmhun, sengjim, etc.
