when i try saying "heat" using more air on the "h", i get a pharyngeal fricative... also, why do people say to try saying "hy" for a voiceless palatal fricative? why i say "hy" it comes out as [h_j] (which (to me) is quite different from [C], maybe i could add a distinction between [h_j] and [C] (and L_r, which it already has) to kxqqhwiiallccre (which i actually designed to be what i would consider to be the ideal auxlang (although i doubt it would be very successful with initial consonant clusters like [h\R_oL_0?\_r] and [L\_rR\_0h\H_0]...)))... "hr" and "hl" are [hr\] and [hl] for me as well... i could never figure out why people would describe [r\_0]/[l_0] as how people would pronounce "hr"/"hl" because i voice the "r"/"l"... -- Robert Wilson (aka kuvazokad, eltirno, edeí...) http://kuvazokad.free.fr/ vkky vnkynvj vknyknj ykkv knvy? karkalone kontoko? kinsi rorotan kinsa nadas? baitta ke farzaiyai? qxracc pqqattiircx iia kxqqhwiiallccre? spreken þu viserdya? pake biru ka pa rede?
