Exercise 4-11 : Voiced and Unvoiced Sounds with T 

This exercise is for the practice ofthe difference between words that end in either a vowel¹ or a voiced consonant², which means thatthe vowel is lengthened³ or doubled. Therefore, these words are on a much larger, longer stairstep. Words thatend in an unvoiced consonant are on a smaller, shorter stairstep. This occurs whether the vowel in question is tense or lax.
