Strangely, I've found that I sometimes use [B], [P], and [w~] for /b/ /p/ and /m/. I can't figure out what the rules are, and it's not a very common usage, probably less than 5% of the time, and only in the middle of a sentence. Like, I'll sometimes say [AnBrejk] for "on break" -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
