So what's wrong with that?? :-)))) As the old song has it, "every [word] is
beautiful, in its own way..."
However, after several repetitions, I find a tendency to change the 2nd ñ
[N] to [n], and harden the T to [t]--
[,oN.gelp'nit.Zi]
Maybe the [t] could assimilate voicing, [...d.Zi]
Another thing that happens is t > ?, [....ni?.dZi]
