The rules of previous columns make phonemic analysis, the reduction of a spoken language to an unambiguous writing system, almost automatic. The emphasis here is on "almost." This column explores some examples (by no means all) that an anthropologist may encounter in field work with languages and texts. Ultimately all phonemic solutions need to be checked by the native speakers' intuitions and linguistic experts with an interest in practical solutions
