I don't think so. At least I don't hear anything. I just think that other vowels than the high ones are just too open to allow such kind of 'fricative tail'. If I continue breathing after an /e/, I just blow with my mouth open, which is phonetically even less than /h/! Christophe Grandsire |Sela Jemufan Atlinan C.G.
