First sentence: The pronunciation of Votic back vowels, whether in the main stress position of a word or in subsequent syllables, is more or less analogous to the pronunciation of corresponding Estonian vowels, e.g. kana 'hen', paJIava 'hot', appaneB 'it turns sour', orko 'valley', kotikko 'sack', kotona 'home', kusutan 'I extinguish', ujuma 'to swim', urpa 'catkin'.
