11. Content Notes: Starting around region 6, the interviewer seems to be looking for instances of the pin/pen merger, or the pronunciation in the south of the short I and the short e as the same sound. In regions 8 and 9 the interviewer is asking about the verb usage in particular but is using other topics to get the informant to talk about it. It takes several tries and sometimes the interviewer has to supply answers to the informant.
