Within these examples of bilabial and velar plosives, there appears to be congruent relationships despite different places of articulation. There is a relationship between voiceless aspirated plosives and positive VOT as well as another relationship between voiced plosives and negative VOT. During the aspiration of voiceless plosives in syllable initial position, voicelessness influences any following sonorance which delays voicing. Therefore, in both examples [pha] and [kha] where aspiration is present, there is positive VOT.However, in voiced plosives, voicing begins during consonant closure and continues on through the vowel for prolonged voicing. In examples [ba] and [ga] which contain voiced plosives, there is negative VOT.From these results, we can deduce that alveolar plosives will share the same patterns:-[tha] will delay voicing due to aspiration and there will be positive VOT-voicing within [da] will occur during consonant closure, prolonging voicing and there will be negative VOT
