Re: aspirated m?

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.
