One other very common thing is consonantal "aftertouch" (don't
know of a good term for it). All closed vowels get either a
[w] almost [B] or [j] almost [j\] afterwards. My vowels are
so closed that they're almost consonantal altogether. A friend
of mine imitates me be saying _vi_ 'we' as [vij\] almost [vj\]
with a syllabic [j\]. And the scary thing is that she's right.
