Which of these statements about food chain is not correct?
Explanation
Standard Igbo has eight vowels: a, e, i, o, u and their dotted counterparts ị, ọ, ụ. The dotted vowels are pronounced with the tongue root retracted, giving a deeper sound.
Vowel harmony: words tend to use either all regular vowels or all dotted vowels within the same root. This affects suffixes and prefixes that attach to words.
Distinguishing these vowels is crucial for meaning. “Ọkụ” (fire) differs from “oku” (voice). Mastering the eight vowels is fundamental to proper Igbo pronunciation.
