 The voiced labiovelar approximant is a realization of between vowels other than the schwa.A Yupʼik word carries as much information as an English sentence due its rich manner of suffixing; therefore, Yupʼik words are often quite long and highly agglutinative.A Yupʼik word may have up to four sections, where the first must be the stem, which carries the core meaning of the word, then "zero, one, or more postbases," which "serve somewhat the same function as suffixes in English," then an ending, which "shows grammatical relationships of case or mood, person and number," and then, possibly, an enclitic (Reed 18).
