I'm sure we could, but a more productive approach would be if we started to make a conlang where the difference between a voiceless palatal ingressive approximant and a voiceless palatal ingressive fricative was phonemic, thereby triggering the law that anything one can think up for a conlang occurs in some natlang in ten-times-worse form ... :-) Andreas _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963
