    From what I've seen, the [m] is a box, which kind of looks like a closed
mouth, and then if you look at the rest as a side view with the mouth facing
left, you see that t/d/n have a line touching the upper line that would
correspond to the alveolar ridge.  It's really neat.  But yeah, I'm curious
to hear Yoon Ha's explanation.
