In what dialect is [halapEnjo] an anglicization? In my 'lect and some
other 'lects I'm familiar with /E/ does not occur before /n/,
it's realized as /Ej@/ in my 'lect and /&/ in some other 'lects.
But foreign words with /e/ or /E/ plus a nasal are more apt to
get borrowed with /in/ than /&n/, maybe, as in [h&l.@.pin.j@].
