Examine the distribution of [k] and [g] in the invented language of Kali in the data below.



[dilisk] ‘horn’ [retk] ‘shy’

[pesk] ‘sleeve’ [krustug] ‘carpet’

[kizg] ‘pebble’ [krum] ‘car’

[talg] ‘riches’ [bepk] ‘shoe’



Can you predict when you will produce a [k] or when you will produce a [g] in Kali? If the alternation is predictable, please describe in words what the phonological rule would be. You DO NOT need to use rule notation.
