YAEPT (we can't have enough)

Hi!

Reading the [?] thread (I have ['bO?5=] for 'bottle'), and thinking
about my pronunciation of /l/ in final position in English, I noticed
that it [5] most of the time, but not always.  Sometimes, it lacks the
lateral part or it is weak so it comes closer to [w], but not quite.
Comparing with inital /w/, it is something like an unrounded or maybe
semirounded [w] (maybe [M\] or [w_c]), and maybe more open (maybe
[M\_o] or [w_c_o]), because comparing to a vowel, it sounds more like
[7] than like [u].  The velar constriction seems quite tense, so I'd
categorise it as a syllabic approximant rather than as a vowel.

For example, I have this in 'possible', maybe ['p_hOsIbw_c_o=].

Ok, I'm an L2 speaker, but what do the others on the list do here?

Bye,
  Henrik
