<grin> While we're playing the 'bizzare sounds' game, I've included what I
perceive to be an ingressive nasal uvular trill. It sounds like someone
snoring, or a snarl. I think I'm describing it right (I'm sucking air in,
through my nose, and I think my uvula is bopping about <shrug>). Can anyone
else try and make this and give a more accurate description of it? I also was
toying with the idea of making the vowels voiced with an uvular trill, to make
them more growllike, but I don't know if that's reasonable. If anyone is
interested, I'll put up a short description on my webpage,
(www.citlink.net/~lschelin), and/or send a description to the list...
