Isn't it more like 'm hen, though? Like our "I'm happy"--which gets
truncated to "m happy"? I don't believe I've ever heard a Welshman breathe
out through his nose while uttering the initial nasal, a decidedly different
sound.
The latter is the sound I was describing in Teonaht.
Go back and read Ray's letter.
