Comments:

North Carolina dialect. Cherokee is spoken in
parts of eastern Oklahoma and also in western North
Carolina. Clusters of /h/ + voiced consonant are
phonetically voiceless counterparts of the voiced C. Such
clusters often arise from a metathesis process switching
/h, ?/ and a resonant. A more superficial account might
posit a whole set of voiceless consonants.
