At the end of the English word 'cats', it's just /ts/ (and probably [ts], though someone out there probably says [?s]), simply being a sequence of /t/ and /s/. In the German word 'zehn', the t-s ligature might be appropriate for a phonemic transcription, but I'm not sure that there's a phonetic difference between [ts] (sequence) and [t_s] (affricative). -- Tristan <kesuari@...> "Dealing with failure is easy: Work hard to improve.
