bac clusters usually only have two elements, but they
can be be pretty much any two elements :
|wso| traveller
|lro| comedian
|bca| sppeaker
but my favourite cluster ( not yet initial, but it
might become so if i introduce a modification i'm
contemplating ) is the one written |hr| and pronounced
/r\4/ (?!)
|bahret| path /'bar\4Et/
( there's also |hl| /M\l/ and |hln| /M\L\/ which i
have a suspicion christophe might approve of )
