- My favorite 3-sibilant system (well, actually it's 6, with both voiceless and voiced versions) is: {plain s} = /s/ {s-hacek} = /S/ {s-acute} = /S*/ /S*/ is a whistling kind of sibilant made at the same place as /S/ but with the tip of the tongue. It's voiced version sounds like "throat singing", or at least what ends up happening when i followed the directions on a website someone posted here. -Stephen (Steg) "Z'U-POAvKQ? Just call me 'Bo'."
