Precisely which bit of the tongue is hitting
which bit of the roof of the mouth in this
sublamino-velar thing? I can get labial (like
trumpet playing), alveolar, apical and velar
trills without any difficulty. When it's
inflamed, I can get a pretty decent uvular trill.
If I knew what sublaminar was (linguistically) I
could give that a try too!
Of course, this could come in handy for certain
populations of Daine who have rather longer
tongues and oral cavities than most people.
