prenasalization
Noun
Meaning
prenasalization (countable and uncountable, plural prenasalizations)
The act of prenasalizing.
Examples
A few languages also have pre-glottalized nasal clicks, which have very brief prenasalization but have not been phonetically analyzed to the extent that other types of clicks have.
Note that the terms prenasalization and postnasalization are normally used only in languages where these sounds are phonemic: that is, not analyzed into sequences of stop plus nasal.
