For this question, ignore the vowels; that is, treat all vowels as the same (you may want to replace all vowels with the variable V).

Arabic is a family of West Semitic languages spoken across the Middle East and North Africa.  While each country has a national version, Modern Standard Arabic exists to bridge international communication and serves many cultural and political purposes.  Examine the following data from Modern Standard Arabic as it is spoken in Egypt and answer the questions that follow.  Note: [dˤ, sˤ, tˤ, ðˤ] are pharyngealized versions of the consonants [d, s, t, ð].  Some aspects of the phonetic system have been simplified for this problem, but these changes will not affect your results.  [ʕ] is a voiced pharyngeal fricative.

Common Coquis (Eleutherodactylus coquis) are small frogs native to Puerto Rico that are named for the loud, distinctive breeding calls males produce (see video link below). Males typically begin calling at sundown and the choruses of male calls continue until sunrise, with individual males calling in bouts that last anywhere from 10 sec to 2 minutes with several minute breaks between. What kind of information (signal messages) do you think the males are trying to communicate to other Common Coquis in their breeding calls? Identify and explain at least three different specific pieces of information that are likely transmitted in these calls.
