Discussion : S2 could not initially understand this word, because it starts with [l] rather than [n], as is common in Hong Kong English (Deterding, Wong & Kirkpatrick, 2006). She did eventually understand it when he repeated the word followed by one, even though the latter word has a spurious final [t], something else that is sometimes found in Hong Kong English (Setter & Deterding, 2003) .
