Table 2. Speaker-averaged paired comparison of front vs. non-front vocalic contexts (n=7)
| Measure (mel) | Front M | Non-front M | Mean diff. | Paired t(6) | p (Holm) | Exact perm. p |
| F2std | 1,041.5 | 963.8 | 77.7 | 3.365 | .061 | .016* |
| F1std | 696.1 | 609.8 | 86.3 | 2.895 | .083 | .016* |
| F2off | 1,180.4 | 1,080.8 | 99.6 | 1.714 | .275 | .156 |
| F1off | 677.2 | 604.2 | 72.9 | 1.687 | .275 | .125 |
Hotelling's paired T²=58.283, F(4,3)=7.285, p=.067. Exact permutation p based on n=7 exact sign-flip test (2⁷=128 permutations).
*p < .05 (uncorrected exact test); no measure survives Holm correction.
