My son, age 6 months, seems to be a fertile source of new phones,
unrecognized by the IPA.  Most recently I've noticed a
bilabio-latero-velar affricate, which I guess would be [bl)G)], though I
normally just transcribe it as "blg".  It occurs in his favorite
exclamation, [bl)G)a:], though his normal conversational register so far
consists solely of [ba] repeated over and over . . .
