:) I don't know. Me and a friend of mine have the habit of imitating Homer from time to time (which I suppose a lot of people do) and when I tried the constricted /A/ it sounded just like Homer seeing food. So I suppose it's true. To me it sounds like the right sound, but I guess you have to ask a more phonetically proficient Simpsonsfan for a more exact answer. ||| daniel
