Mycenaean Greek had three labialized velar stops , aspirated, tenuis, and voiced. A few of the tenuis consonants have allophonic variation. Oral clicks are attested with four phonations&colon; tenuis, aspirated, voiced and breathy voiced (murmured). Each aspirated consonant can be converted into the corresponding tenuis consonant. The lifecycle of "P. tenuis" is complex and multistaged. The main predator that targets this species are skinks ("Eulamprus Tenuis"). After , tenuis stops become aspirated, becomes fortis, and is unaffected. Therefore, the absolute duration of voicing is the same as in tenuis stops. Its specific epithet is from Latin "tenuis" 'narrow' and "rostrum" 'bill'. Many words have tense consonants where the standard is tenuis. The specific " tenuirostris " is from Latin "tenuis" "slender" and "rostrum" "bill". Otherwise, they tend to be tenuis (plain) stops. Presently, a commercial antibody test that can detect "P. tenuis" antemortem does not exist. An early IPA convention was to write the tenuis stops etc. The diet of "C. tenuis" is largely restricted to slugs and eggs of slugs.
