I agree. In England, /D/ is overwhelminngly, maybe almost universally,
preferred. I have /wID/ /
wID'awt/ and /wI'DIn/. It can become /wi\D/ and maybe even /wMD/ in
unstressed positions in casual
speech.

Usual caveat: I have never had a lesson in acoustic or articulatory
phonetics in my life.

ObConlang: Still no name for Thag 3B. Have possibly settled on some
preliminary 1st person verbal
enclitics...

Agentive - /G/
Patientive - /me/ ( ~ /m2/ ~ /ma/ )
Benefactive/Malefactive - /NyG/ ( ~ /NuG/ ~ /NoG/)

e.g. /heGmewId/ "I have seen myself" (/he/ ~ /h2/ ~ /ha/ = perfect)

2nd person enclitics are being a pain. /tS/ and /tSy/ might work for
Agt and Pat. Don't even get me
started on the forest of 3rd person forms -- there are maybe nine 3rd
person "pronoun"s to generate
forms for.
