+# გაკვეთილი 3 (Lesson 3) — Final Vowel & Liquids
+
+## Introduction
+
+This lesson completes the Georgian vowel system by introducing **უ** (Uni), the fifth and final vowel. You will also learn two important consonants: **ვ** (Vini), a voiced fricative, and **რ** (Rae), a liquid/trill. With 11 characters in your toolkit, Georgian text will start to feel increasingly readable.

+
+## The Complete Georgian Vowel System
+
+With უ, you now know all 5 Georgian vowels. This is a compact, symmetric system:
+
+| Letter | Name | IPA | Like English... | Mouth Position |
+|--------|------|-----|-----------------|----------------|
+| ა | ანი | /ɑ/ | "a" in "father" | Open, central |
+| ე | ენი | /ɛ/ | "e" in "bed" | Mid, front |
+| ი | ინი | /i/ | "ee" in "see" | High, front |
+| ო | ონი | /ɔ/ | "o" in "or" | Mid, back, rounded |
+| უ | უნი | /u/ | "oo" in "moon" | High, back, rounded |
+
+This 5-vowel system is considered a "universal" pattern -- it maximally distinguishes vowels across the mouth space. Georgian vowels do not reduce in unstressed positions (unlike English, where unstressed vowels often become "uh"). Every vowel is always fully pronounced.
+
+## New Consonants
+
+| Letter | Name | IPA | Type | Like English... |
+|--------|------|-----|------|-----------------|
+| ვ | ვინი (Vini) | /v/ | fricative, voiced | "v" in "vine" |
+| რ | რაე (Rae) | /r/ | liquid (trill), voiced | "r" in "roll" (trilled) |
+
+### The Georgian რ
+
+The Georgian **რ** is a **trilled** or **flapped** R, similar to the Spanish or Italian R. It is produced by vibrating the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge (the bony area behind your upper teeth). This is quite different from the English R, which is produced further back in the mouth with no contact.
+
+If you cannot trill yet, start with a single flap (like the "tt" in American English "butter") and gradually build up to a full trill.
+
+### The Fricative Pair
+
+You now know two fricatives:
+
+- **ს** /s/ -- voiceless (from Lesson 2)
+- **ვ** /v/ -- voiced (this lesson)
+
+Place your fingers on your throat: you will feel vibration with ვ but not with ს. This voiced/voiceless distinction is fundamental to Georgian consonant organization.
+
+## Expanding Your Vocabulary
+
+With 11 characters (ა, ე, ი, ო, უ, ვ, ლ, მ, ნ, რ, ს), you can read many more words:
+
+| Word | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|------|--------------|---------|
+| ვარი | va-ri | a type of cooking |
+| რუმი | ru-mi | Rumi (name) |
+| ვინო | vi-no | wine |
+| ნარი | na-ri | a type of fir tree |
+| სურვილი | sur-vi-li | wish, desire |
+| ვარსელი | var-se-li | a type of herb |
+| მარილი | ma-ri-li | salt |
+
+The word **ვინო** (vino, "wine") reflects Georgia's ancient winemaking tradition. Georgia is widely considered the birthplace of wine, with archaeological evidence of winemaking dating back 8,000 years.
+
+## Consonant Inventory So Far
+
+You now know 6 consonants covering different manner categories:
+
+| Category | Consonants |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Nasal | მ /m/, ნ /n/ |
+| Liquid | ლ /l/, რ /r/ |
+| Fricative | ს /s/ (voiceless), ვ /v/ (voiced) |
+
+In the next two lessons, you will encounter Georgian's most distinctive consonant feature: the **three-way distinction** among stop consonants (aspirated, ejective, and voiced). This system is rare among the world's languages and gives Georgian its unique phonetic character.
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **All 5 vowels complete**: ა, ე, ი, ო, უ -- a clean, symmetric system
+2. **Pure vowels**: No reduction -- every vowel is always fully pronounced
+3. **Trilled რ**: Similar to Spanish or Italian R, not English R
+4. **Fricative contrast**: ვ (voiced) vs. ს (voiceless)
+5. **11 characters learned**: Enough to read many common Georgian words
+
+## Practice Exercises
+
+:::exercise{id="ka-03-recognition" type="matching" title="Identify New Characters" skill="character-recognition" tests="uni,vini,rae" objectiveId="obj-complete-vowels"}
+
+**Question:** Match each Georgian character to its name
+
+- უ
+- ვ
+- რ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- უ = Uni (the vowel "u")
+- ვ = Vini (the consonant "v")
+- რ = Rae (the consonant "r")
+
+**Explanation:** With უ, you now know all 5 Georgian vowels. The consonants ვ (fricative) and რ (liquid/trill) expand your ability to read Georgian words significantly.
+
+:::
+
+:::exercise{id="ka-03-vowel-system" type="multiple-choice" title="Complete Vowel System" skill="character-sound-mapping" tests="uni" objectiveId="obj-sounds-3"}
+
+**Question:** Which of the following correctly lists all 5 Georgian vowels with their sounds?
+
+**Options:**
+
+- ა /ɑ/, ე /ɛ/, ი /i/, ო /ɔ/, უ /u/
+- ა /ɑ/, ე /ɛ/, ი /i/, ო /ɔ/, ვ /v/
+- ა /ɑ/, ე /e/, ი /i/, ო /o/, უ /ju/
+- ა /a/, ე /ɛ/, ი /i/, უ /u/, რ /r/
+
+**Answer:** 1
+
+**Explanation:** Georgian has exactly 5 vowels: ა /ɑ/, ე /ɛ/, ი /i/, ო /ɔ/, უ /u/. The consonants ვ and რ are not vowels. Georgian vowels are pure and do not glide, so უ is /u/ (not /ju/ as in English "you").

+
+:::exercise{id="ka-03-word-reading" type="fill-in-blank" title="Read Georgian Words" skill="word-recognition" tests="uni,vini,rae" objectiveId="obj-recognize-vr"}
+
+**Question:** Read the following Georgian words and give their pronunciation
+
+- ვინო = ___
+- სურვილი = ___
+- მარილი = ___
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ვინო = "vino" (wine)
+- სურვილი = "survili" (wish)
+- მარილი = "marili" (salt)
+
+**Explanation:** Sound out each letter from left to right. Remember that რ is trilled (like Spanish R) and უ is a pure "oo" sound. These words use characters from all three lessons so far.
+
+:::
+
+## What's Next
+
+In Lesson 4, you will begin exploring Georgian's famous **stop consonant system** by learning the **aspirated stops**: თ, ქ, and ფ. These are voiceless stops pronounced with a puff of air, similar to English "t", "k", and "p" at the start of stressed syllables.

+# გაკვეთილი 4 (Lesson 4) — Aspirated Stops
+
+## Introduction
+
+Georgian has one of the most remarkable consonant systems in the world: a **three-way distinction** among stop consonants. Where English distinguishes only two types (voiced "b" vs. voiceless "p"), Georgian has three:
+
+1. **Voiced** -- vocal cords vibrate (you already know some: მ, ნ, etc.)
+2. **Aspirated** (this lesson) -- voiceless with a strong puff of air
+3. **Ejective** (next lesson) -- voiceless with a glottal pop, no air puff
+
+This three-way system is one of Georgian's most distinctive features and sets it apart from most European languages.
+
+## Characters
+
+:::character-set{id="georgian-aspirated-stops" title="Aspirated Stops"}
+
+::character{id="tani" canonicalRef="tani" char="თ" name="თ თანი (Tani)" charType="consonant" data:phoneticCategory="stop" data:voicing="voiceless" data:transliteration="t" data:ipa="tʰ"}

+
+:::
+
+## What Is Aspiration?
+
+**Aspiration** is a puff of air that follows a consonant sound. Hold your hand in front of your mouth and say these English words:
+
+- **"top"** -- you feel a puff of air after the "t"
+- **"pot"** -- you feel a puff of air after the "p"
+- **"cop"** -- you feel a puff of air after the "k"
+
+That puff is aspiration. In English, aspiration happens automatically at the beginning of stressed syllables, so most English speakers never notice it. In Georgian, aspiration is **distinctive** -- it changes the meaning of a word.
+
+## The Three Aspirated Stops
+
+| Letter | Name | IPA | Place of Articulation | Like English... |
+|--------|------|-----|-----------------------|-----------------|
+| თ | თანი (Tani) | /tʰ/ | Alveolar (tongue tip behind teeth) | "t" in "top" |
+| ქ | ქანი (Qani) | /kʰ/ | Velar (back of tongue) | "k" in "kite" |
+| ფ | ფარი (Phari) | /pʰ/ | Bilabial (both lips) | "p" in "pot" |
+
+These sounds will feel natural to English speakers because English "t", "k", and "p" at the beginning of stressed words are also aspirated. The challenge comes in Lesson 5, when you learn the ejective counterparts that have no English equivalent.
+
+## The Three-Way System Preview
+
+To understand where these aspirated stops fit, here is the complete three-way system you will learn over Lessons 4 and 5:
+
+| Place | Voiced | Aspirated | Ejective |
+|-------|--------|-----------|----------|
+| Bilabial (lips) | ბ /b/ | **ფ /pʰ/** | პ /pʼ/ |
+| Alveolar (tongue tip) | დ /d/ | **თ /tʰ/** | ტ /tʼ/ |
+| Velar (back tongue) | გ /ɡ/ | **ქ /kʰ/** | კ /kʼ/ |
+
+This lesson covers the middle column (aspirated). You will learn the ejective column in Lesson 5. The voiced column will be covered in a future lesson.
+
+## Words with Aspirated Stops
+
+| Word | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|------|--------------|---------|
+| თავი | tʰa-vi | head; self |
+| ქალი | kʰa-li | woman |
+| ფული | pʰu-li | money |
+| თვალი | tʰva-li | eye |
+| ქარი | kʰa-ri | wind |
+| ფოსტა | pʰos-ta | post, mail |
+| თეთრი | tʰe-tʰri | white; a monetary unit |
+
+Notice that **თეთრი** contains two aspirated stops. The word means both "white" and refers to a small denomination of Georgian currency (100 თეთრი = 1 ლარი).
+
+## Aspiration in Context
+
+Aspiration matters in Georgian because it creates **minimal pairs** -- words that differ only in whether a stop is aspirated or ejective:
+
+- **თავი** /tʰavi/ (head) vs. **ტანი** /tʼani/ (body) -- თ (aspirated) vs. ტ (ejective)
+- **ქარი** /kʰari/ (wind) vs. **კარი** /kʼari/ (door) -- ქ (aspirated) vs. კ (ejective)
+- **ფული** /pʰuli/ (money) vs. **პური** /pʼuri/ (bread) -- ფ (aspirated) vs. პ (ejective)
+
+You will practice these contrasts in Lesson 5 after learning the ejective stops.
+
+## Recognizing the Shapes
+
+- **თ** has a round body with a vertical stroke, sitting on the baseline
+- **ქ** features an elegant rightward curve, one of the more distinctive Georgian shapes
+- **ფ** has a characteristic loop shape, reaching below the baseline
+
+Compare these carefully with their ejective counterparts in Lesson 5 -- the shapes are completely different even though the sounds are related.
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Three-way distinction**: Georgian stops come in voiced, aspirated, and ejective varieties
+2. **Aspiration = air puff**: Hold your hand in front of your mouth to feel it
+3. **Natural for English speakers**: English "t", "k", "p" at word start are already aspirated
+4. **Minimal pairs exist**: Aspirated vs. ejective changes meaning (თავი vs. ტანი)
+5. **Three places of articulation**: Bilabial (ფ), alveolar (თ), velar (ქ)

+- თ
+- ქ
+- ფ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- თ = Tani /tʰ/ (aspirated "t", tongue behind teeth)
+- ქ = Qani /kʰ/ (aspirated "k", back of tongue)
+- ფ = Phari /pʰ/ (aspirated "p", both lips)
+
+**Explanation:** These three aspirated stops correspond to the three major places of articulation for stops: bilabial (lips), alveolar (tongue tip), and velar (back tongue). They all share the feature of being voiceless with a strong puff of air.

+
+**Question:** What makes Georgian's stop consonant system unusual compared to English?
+
+**Options:**
+
+- Georgian has more vowels than English
+- Georgian distinguishes three types of stops (voiced, aspirated, ejective) while English only distinguishes two (voiced, voiceless)
+- Georgian stops are always silent at the end of words
+- Georgian has no voiced consonants
+
+**Answer:** 2
+
+**Explanation:** English distinguishes only voiced stops (b, d, g) from voiceless stops (p, t, k). Georgian adds a third category: ejective stops, which are produced with a glottalic airstream (a popping sound from the glottis). This three-way distinction is rare among European languages but common in Caucasian languages.

+
+## What's Next
+
+In Lesson 5, you will learn the **ejective stops** (ტ, კ, პ) -- the third and most uniquely Georgian category of stops. Ejectives are produced with a sharp, crisp pop and no air puff, created by compressing air between the closed glottis and the mouth closure. You will practice contrasting aspirated and ejective stops side by side.

Where English distinguishes only two types (voiced \\\"b\\\" vs. voiceless \\\"p\\\"), Georgian has three:\\n\\n1. **Voiced** -- vocal cords vibrate (you already know some: მ, ნ, etc.)\\n2. **Aspirated** (this lesson) -- voiceless with a strong puff of air\\n3. **Ejective** (next lesson) -- voiceless with a glottal pop, no air puff\\n\\nThis three-way system is one of Georgian's most distinctive features and sets it apart from most European languages.\\n\\n## Characters\\n\\n:::character-set{id=\\\"georgian-aspirated-stops\\\" title=\\\"Aspirated Stops\\\"}\\n\\n::character{id=\\\"tani\\\" canonicalRef=\\\"tani\\\" char=\\\"თ\\\" name=\\\"თ თანი (Tani)\\\" charType=\\\"consonant\\\" data:phoneticCategory=\\\"stop\\\" data:voicing=\\\"voiceless\\\" data:transliteration=\\\"t\\\" data:ipa=\\\"tʰ\\\"}\\n\\n::character{id=\\\"qani\\\" canonicalRef=\\\"qani\\\" char=\\\"ქ\\\" name=\\\"ქ ქანი (Qani)\\\" charType=\\\"consonant\\\" data:phoneticCategory=\\\"stop\\\" data:voicing=\\\"voiceless\\\" data:transliteration=\\\"k\\\" data:ipa=\\\"kʰ\\\"}\\n\\n::character{id=\\\"phari\\\" canonicalRef=\\\"phari\\\" char=\\\"ფ\\\" name=\\\"ფ ფარი (Phari)\\\" charType=\\\"consonant\\\" data:phoneticCategory=\\\"stop\\\" data:voicing=\\\"voiceless\\\" data:transliteration=\\\"p\\\" data:ipa=\\\"pʰ\\\"}\\n\\n:::\\n\\n## What Is Aspiration?\\n\\n**Aspiration** is a puff of air that follows a consonant sound. Hold your hand in front of your mouth and say these English words:\\n\\n- **\\\"top\\\"** -- you feel a puff of air after the \\\"t\\\"\\n- **\\\"pot\\\"** -- you feel a puff of air after the \\\"p\\\"\\n- **\\\"cop\\\"** -- you feel a puff of air after the \\\"k\\\"\\n\\nThat puff is aspiration. In English, aspiration happens automatically at the beginning of stressed syllables, so most English speakers never notice it. In Georgian, aspiration is **distinctive** -- it changes the meaning of a word.\\n\\n## The Three Aspirated Stops\\n\\n| Letter | Name | IPA | Place of Articulation | Like English... |\\n|--------|------|-----|-----------------------|-----------------|\\n| თ | თანი (Tani) | /tʰ/ | Alveolar (tongue tip behind teeth) | \\\"t\\\" in \\\"top\\\" |\\n| ქ | ქანი (Qani) | /kʰ/ | Velar (back of tongue) | \\\"k\\\" in \\\"kite\\\" |\\n| ფ | ფარი (Phari) | /pʰ/ | Bilabial (both lips) | \\\"p\\\" in \\\"pot\\\" |\\n\\nThese sounds will feel natural to English speakers because English \\\"t\\\", \\\"k\\\", and \\\"p\\\" at the beginning of stressed words are also aspirated. The challenge comes in Lesson 5, when you learn the ejective counterparts that have no English equivalent.\\n\\n## The Three-Way System Preview\\n\\nTo understand where these aspirated stops fit, here is the complete three-way system you will learn over Lessons 4 and 5:\\n\\n| Place | Voiced | Aspirated | Ejective |\\n|-------|--------|-----------|----------|\\n| Bilabial (lips) | ბ /b/ | **ფ /pʰ/** | პ /pʼ/ |\\n| Alveolar (tongue tip) | დ /d/ | **თ /tʰ/** | ტ /tʼ/ |\\n| Velar (back tongue) | გ /ɡ/ | **ქ /kʰ/** | კ /kʼ/ |\\n\\nThis lesson covers the middle column (aspirated). You will learn the ejective column in Lesson 5. The voiced column will be covered in a future lesson.\\n\\n## Words with Aspirated Stops\\n\\n| Word | Pronunciation | Meaning |\\n|------|--------------|---------|\\n| თავი | tʰa-vi | head; self |\\n| ქალი | kʰa-li | woman |\\n| ფული | pʰu-li | money |\\n| თვალი | tʰva-li | eye |\\n| ქარი | kʰa-ri | wind |\\n| ფოსტა | pʰos-ta | post, mail |\\n| თეთრი | tʰe-tʰri | white; a monetary unit |\\n\\nNotice that **თეთრი** contains two aspirated stops. The word means both \\\"white\\\" and refers to a small denomination of Georgian currency (100 თეთრი = 1 ლარი).\\n\\n## Aspiration in Context\\n\\nAspiration matters in Georgian because it creates **minimal pairs** -- words that differ only in whether a stop is aspirated or ejective:\\n\\n- **თავი** /tʰavi/ (head) vs. **ტანი** /tʼani/ (body) -- თ (aspirated) vs. ტ (ejective)\\n- **ქარი** /kʰari/ (wind) vs. **კარი** /kʼari/ (door) -- ქ (aspirated) vs. კ (ejective)\\n- **ფული** /pʰuli/ (money) vs. **პური** /pʼuri/ (bread) -- ფ (aspirated) vs. პ (ejective)\\n\\nYou will practice these contrasts in Lesson 5 after learning the ejective stops.\\n\\n## Recognizing the Shapes\\n\\n- **თ** has a round body with a vertical stroke, sitting on the baseline\\n- **ქ** features an elegant rightward curve, one of the more distinctive Georgian shapes\\n- **ფ** has a characteristic loop shape, reaching below the baseline\\n\\nCompare these carefully with their ejective counterparts in Lesson 5 -- the shapes are completely different even though the sounds are related.\\n\\n## Key Points\\n\\n1. **Three-way distinction**: Georgian stops come in voiced, aspirated, and ejective varieties\\n2. **Aspiration = air puff**: Hold your hand in front of your mouth to feel it\\n3. **Natural for English speakers**: English \\\"t\\\", \\\"k\\\", \\\"p\\\" at word start are already aspirated\\n4. **Minimal pairs exist**: Aspirated vs. ejective changes meaning (თავი vs. ტანი)\\n5. **Three places of articulation**: Bilabial (ფ), alveolar (თ), velar (ქ)\\n\\n## Practice Exercises\\n\\n:::exercise{id=\\\"ka-04-recognition\\\" type=\\\"matching\\\" title=\\\"Identify Aspirated Stops\\\" skill=\\\"character-recognition\\\" tests=\\\"tani,qani,phari\\\" objectiveId=\\\"obj-recognize-aspirated\\\"}\\n\\n**Question:** Match each Georgian aspirated stop to its name and sound\\n\\n- თ\\n- ქ\\n- ფ\\n\\n**Answer:**\\n\\n- თ = Tani /tʰ/ (aspirated \\\"t\\\", tongue behind teeth)\\n- ქ = Qani /kʰ/ (aspirated \\\"k\\\", back of tongue)\\n- ფ = Phari /pʰ/ (aspirated \\\"p\\\", both lips)\\n\\n**Explanation:** These three aspirated stops correspond to the three major places of articulation for stops: bilabial (lips), alveolar (tongue tip), and velar (back tongue).

+# გაკვეთილი 5 (Lesson 5) — Ejective Stops
+
+## Introduction
+
+Ejective consonants are the hallmark of Georgian phonology and one of the most fascinating sounds in any language. Found throughout the Caucasus region but rare in European languages, ejectives give Georgian its distinctive crisp, percussive quality. In this lesson, you will learn the three ejective stops and practice distinguishing them from the aspirated stops you learned in Lesson 4.
+
+## Characters
+
+:::character-set{id="georgian-ejective-stops" title="Ejective Stops"}
+
+::character{id="tari" canonicalRef="tari" char="ტ" name="ტ ტარი (Tari)" charType="consonant" data:phoneticCategory="stop" data:voicing="ejective" data:transliteration="t'" data:ipa="tʼ"}

+
+:::
+
+## What Are Ejective Consonants?
+
+Ejectives are produced using a fundamentally different mechanism than most consonants:
+
+1. **Close the glottis** (the space between your vocal cords, in your throat)
+2. **Close the mouth** at the appropriate position (lips for პ, tongue tip for ტ, back tongue for კ)
+3. **Raise the larynx** (Adam's apple moves up), compressing the air trapped between the two closures
+4. **Release the mouth closure** -- the compressed air pops out with a sharp, crisp sound
+5. **No airflow from lungs** -- unlike aspirated sounds, no air rushes through
+
+The result is a short, sharp, percussive sound with no breathiness. It sounds like a quiet "pop" or "click" compared to the breathy release of aspirated stops.
+
+## The Three Ejective Stops
+
+| Letter | Name | IPA | Transliteration | Place of Articulation |
+|--------|------|-----|-----------------|-----------------------|
+| ტ | ტარი (Tari) | /tʼ/ | t' | Alveolar (tongue tip behind teeth) |
+| კ | კანი (Kani) | /kʼ/ | k' | Velar (back of tongue) |
+| პ | პარი (Pari) | /pʼ/ | p' | Bilabial (both lips) |
+
+The apostrophe in the transliteration (t', k', p') is the standard way to mark ejectives in linguistic notation.
+
+## How to Produce Ejectives
+
+Try this exercise to feel the glottal closure:
+
+1. Say "uh-oh" -- the break between "uh" and "oh" is a glottal stop
+2. Now hold that closed-throat feeling
+3. With your throat closed, press your lips together (for პ)
+4. Push your throat upward slightly, then pop your lips open
+5. You should hear a crisp pop with no air following it
+
+Compare this with ფ (aspirated): say "pot" and feel the air puff. Then say პ with no air at all -- just a pop.
+
+## The Complete Three-Way System
+
+Now you can see the full picture of Georgian stop consonants:
+
+| Place | Voiced | Aspirated | Ejective |
+|-------|--------|-----------|----------|
+| Bilabial (lips) | ბ /b/ | ფ /pʰ/ | **პ /pʼ/** |
+| Alveolar (tongue tip) | დ /d/ | თ /tʰ/ | **ტ /tʼ/** |
+| Velar (back tongue) | გ /ɡ/ | ქ /kʰ/ | **კ /kʼ/** |
+
+Each row shares the same **place** of articulation (where in the mouth the closure happens). Each column shares the same **manner** (how the sound is released):
+
+- **Voiced**: Vocal cords vibrate during the closure
+- **Aspirated**: Voiceless with a puff of air after release
+- **Ejective**: Voiceless with glottal compression, no air puff
+
+This three-way distinction is one of the defining features of South Caucasian (Kartvelian) languages.
+
+## Minimal Pairs: Aspirated vs. Ejective
+
+These word pairs differ only in whether the stop is aspirated or ejective:
+
+| Aspirated | Meaning | Ejective | Meaning |
+|-----------|---------|----------|---------|
+| **თ**ავი /tʰavi/ | head | **ტ**ანი /tʼani/ | body |
+| **ქ**არი /kʰari/ | wind | **კ**არი /kʼari/ | door |
+| **ფ**ული /pʰuli/ | money | **პ**ური /pʼuri/ | bread |
+
+Listen carefully to the difference: the aspirated versions have a breathy release (like English), while the ejective versions have a sharp pop with no breath.
+
+## Words with Ejective Stops
+
+| Word | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|------|--------------|---------|
+| კარი | kʼa-ri | door |
+| ტანი | tʼa-ni | body |
+| პური | pʼu-ri | bread |
+| კალამი | kʼa-la-mi | pen |
+| პირი | pʼi-ri | mouth; face |
+| ტალი | tʼa-li | a type of elm tree |
+
+**პური** (p'uri, "bread") is an essential Georgian word. Georgian bread, especially **შოთი** (shoti) baked in a traditional clay oven called a **თონე** (tone), is central to Georgian culture and cuisine.
+
+## Recognizing the Shapes
+
+Compare aspirated and ejective characters -- they look completely different despite representing related sounds:
+
+| Aspirated | Ejective | Sound Pair |
+|-----------|----------|------------|
+| თ | ტ | t-sounds |
+| ქ | კ | k-sounds |
+| ფ | პ | p-sounds |
+
+Unlike some writing systems where related sounds have similar-looking letters, Georgian gives each consonant a unique shape. You must learn each character independently.
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Ejectives use glottal compression**: Close throat, seal mouth, push up, pop open
+2. **No air puff**: The key difference from aspirated stops -- ejectives are crisp and dry
+3. **Three-way system**: Voiced (ბ, დ, გ) vs. aspirated (თ, ქ, ფ) vs. ejective (ტ, კ, პ)
+4. **Minimal pairs**: თავი/ტანი, ქარი/კარი, ფული/პური -- the distinction changes meaning
+5. **Unique to Caucasian languages**: Rare in Europe, common in Georgian, Chechen, and other Caucasian languages
+6. **Apostrophe notation**: Ejectives are written t', k', p' in transliteration
+
+## Practice Exercises
+
+:::exercise{id="ka-05-recognition" type="matching" title="Identify Ejective Stops" skill="character-recognition" tests="tari,kani,pari" objectiveId="obj-recognize-ejectives"}
+
+**Question:** Match each Georgian ejective stop to its name and sound
+
+- ტ
+- კ
+- პ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ტ = Tari /tʼ/ (ejective "t", tongue behind teeth)
+- კ = Kani /kʼ/ (ejective "k", back of tongue)
+- პ = Pari /pʼ/ (ejective "p", both lips)
+
+**Explanation:** These three ejective stops are produced with glottal compression rather than lung air. They form the third column of Georgian's three-way stop system alongside voiced and aspirated stops.

+
+:::exercise{id="ka-05-sounds" type="fill-in-blank" title="Ejective Sound Production" skill="character-sound-mapping" tests="tari,kani,pari" objectiveId="obj-ejective-sounds"}
+
+**Question:** Describe how to produce each ejective sound. What makes ejectives different from aspirated stops?
+
+- ტ is produced by ___
+- კ is produced by ___
+- პ is produced by ___
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ტ /tʼ/ is produced by closing the glottis, placing the tongue tip behind the teeth, raising the larynx, and popping the tongue open with no air puff
+- კ /kʼ/ is produced by closing the glottis, raising the back of the tongue to the velum, raising the larynx, and releasing with no air puff
+- პ /pʼ/ is produced by closing the glottis, pressing the lips together, raising the larynx, and popping the lips open with no air puff
+
+**Explanation:** All three ejectives share the same mechanism: glottal closure traps air in the mouth, the larynx pushes up to compress it, and the mouth releases with a crisp pop. The difference from aspirated stops is the absence of lung airflow -- no breathy puff follows the release.
+
+:::
+
+:::exercise{id="ka-05-contrast" type="matching" title="Aspirated vs. Ejective Contrast" skill="character-class-identification" tests="tani,qani,phari,tari,kani,pari" objectiveId="obj-aspirated-vs-ejective"}
+
+**Question:** Sort these Georgian stops into their correct category: aspirated or ejective
+
+- თ
+- ტ
+- ქ
+- კ
+- ფ
+- პ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- **Aspirated** (voiceless, puff of air): თ /tʰ/, ქ /kʰ/, ფ /pʰ/
+- **Ejective** (glottal compression, no air): ტ /tʼ/, კ /kʼ/, პ /pʼ/
+
+**Explanation:** The aspirated stops (თ, ქ, ფ) are produced with lung air and a breathy release, similar to English "t", "k", "p" at the start of words. The ejective stops (ტ, კ, პ) are produced with glottal compression and a sharp pop. Remember the minimal pairs: ქარი (wind) vs. კარი (door), ფული (money) vs. პური (bread), თავი (head) vs. ტანი (body).
+
+:::
+
+## What's Next
+
+You have now learned 17 of Georgia's 33 characters, including the complete vowel system and the foundational consonant categories. Future lessons will introduce the remaining consonants: voiced stops (ბ, გ, დ), additional fricatives (ზ, შ, ხ, ჟ, ღ), affricates (ც, ძ, ჩ, ჭ, წ, ჯ), and the glottal consonant ჰ.
