## thaVOT.png The image is a graph that appears to represent an audio signal over time, specifically focusing on a sound labeled as "Aspirated [tʰa] with voicing start (V) and release (R) marked." The x-axis represents the duration of time in seconds, ranging from 0.5705 to 0.4486 seconds. The y-axis represents amplitude or intensity of the sound signal, ranging from -0.5705 to 0.6224. The graph shows a series of peaks and troughs that represent the sound wave over time. There are two vertical dotted lines labeled "V" and "R," which mark specific points in the sound wave where voicing starts (V) and releases (R). The label "Aspirated [tʰa]" indicates that this is likely a phonetic transcription of an aspirated sound, specifically the sound made when pronouncing the letter 'th' as it occurs at the beginning of words like "the" or "this." The graph also includes some numerical values and labels to help identify specific points in time. For example, there are numbers such as 0R, V, and R which correspond to the start of voicing (V), the release point (R), and possibly other reference points within the sound wave. In terms of people or characters, this image does not depict any individuals; it is a technical representation of an audio signal.
