Comments:

Fruata dialect. Irarutu is spoken in the center
of the Bomberai peninsula, Irian Jaya, Indonesia.
Voorhoeve (1989) reports that "stress is phonemic" but
"usually is on the last vowel" of a word. A /p/ occurs
only in a few clearly recognizable Indonesian loans, hence
is not included in the inventory. A predictable schwa
vowel occurs after utterance-final consonants and between
adjoining consonants not separated by a lexical vowel.
Prenasalized stops or the bilabial fricative before /r/ do
not require insertion of schwa.
