There's a symbol for it in the IPA, but I don't know of any natlangs with it. I have it in some dialects of Watya'i'sa, written <gy>, but in most that's the same as <y>, that is /j/. It took me a while to get that without making it a fricative. -- "It's bad manners to talk about ropes in the house of a man whose father was hanged." - Irish proverb http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-name: NikTailor
