-though in standard speech, it tends to be approximated to {{tipa|/h/}}, which is also accepted.
+though in standard speech, it is approximated as {{tipa|/h/}}, and using {{tipa|/ɣ/}} can be seen as snobbish.
-As such, it can be realised as {{tipa|[x]}} before consonants.
 It is also accepted to elide the sound altogether intervocalically and word‑finally,
-and so {{m|rad|sjorķaħa}} may be realised as {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaɣa/}}, {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaha/}} or {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaː/}}.
+and so {{m|rad|sjorķaha}} may be realised as {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaɣa/}}, {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaha/}} or {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaː/}}.
 Normative language maintains that the consonant should always be pronounced before another consonant,
-but colloquially it can also be found elided, and so {{m|rad|sjorķaħs}} may be realised as {{tipa|[ˈʃɔrtʃaxs]}} (underlyingly {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃaɣs/}} or {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃahs/}}), but colloquially and proscribedly also {{tipa|/ˈʃɔrtʃas/}}.
