- This interpretation is supported, rather than otherwise, by such occasional replacement of expected ft by r, as in roičt ‘([a-z-']+)’, from Fr. hoquet, and (in some varieties of this creole) derô ‘outside’ instead of dehô, from Fr. dehors. But unlike Haitian Creole, in which it would appear that h and r have fallen together as r (of the ‘([a-z-']+)’ dialect), it is the r of Dominican Creole that seems fated sooner or later to be merged in w (leaving h intact).
- One informant tells me that she makes this distinction in checked syllables only when asked to repeat something, or when otherwise using deliberate speech.
