I could imagine the affricate letter 'ch' becoming /ts/ at the end of a syllable in certain dialects. But the standard dialect makes it /t/. Korean affricates are pronounced as such only in the syllable-initial position. obKorean: Is the correct name for the individual glyphs that make up a Korean syllable a 'jamo'? I've seen teh word used in relation to korea, but I'm not sure exactly what it is. -- Fabian The human didn't notice. Did other cats have this problem with their pets?
