The fortis feature in Jju Kaje and initial study

The fortis feature in JJu (more widely known as Kaje) divides the consonants of the language (except the simultaneous labiovelar plosives kp and gb) into a set of fortis ones and a set of their lenis counterparts. Minimal pairs and other words contrasting in the presence or absence of the fortis fea...
