This is Ladefoged's term for a stop that is released by opening the nasal rather than the oral passage, which is how I pronounce "button" and friends. As far as I can make out, there is a simultaneous velar and alveolar closure, and then I release the velar closure through the nose while keeping the alveolar closure unreleased. -- A mosquito cried out in his pain, John Cowan "A chemist has poisoned my brain!" http://www.ccil.org/~cowan The cause of his sorrow http://www.reutershealth.com Was para-dichloro- jcowan@reutershealth.com Diphenyltrichloroethane.
