4 pages, 11 tables The formulation of the phonetic subspace and the alphabet are now based on the model of speech of oral billiards, thereby reducing the size of the IHA from the previous version. It is now only supplemental to the article on oral billiards in providing the detail enumeration of the complete phonetic alphabet
We define an alphabet, the IHA, of the 10-D phonetic-prosodic space. The dimensions of this space are perceptual observables, rather than articulatory specifications. Speech is defined as a random chain in time of the 4-D phonetic subspace, that is, a symbolic sequence, augmented with diacritics of the remaining 6-D prosodic subspace. The definitions here are based on the model of speech of oral billiards, and supersedes an earlier version. This paper only enumerates the IHA in detail as a supplement to the exposition of oral billiards in a separate paper. The IHA has been implemented as the target random variable in a speech recognizer.
