    So, do you aspirate the /t/?  Because no matter how much I try, I can't
pronounce that /t/, I can only get a glottal stop with my tongue going to

with the affricate [t] + voiceless lateral fricative.

    Timeout!  I just found I pronounce it two different ways!  Either with
the glottal stop, or with the /t/ as a flap!  How 'bout that!  It's like
attle antic, but really fast.
