    ROTFLMAO.   Sorry CG ... I just couldn't help but laugh at the way you
put it and the image I had in my lil Higher Primate brainies ;)
    I was jokingly told by Yuri - my lingua-fiend friend - that to pronounce
pharyngeal fricatives "one must pretend that they are seeing a proctologist
with very very cold hands and when the doctor says cough hard... you can just
imagine the rest  - as you barely start attempting to say either _shit_ or
_fuck_ or whatever... "
    Still it seems nausea-inducing put in this manner... mayhaps more so...
