Oh man, it's not that bad is it :-) but yeah I was trying to think of a way to explain this in text and it's hard... but the closest English equivalent I can think of is the diaeresis, like when you say "naïve"... except, imagine if instead of blending the 'a' and 'ï' together, you made as hard of a constant-ish boundary as you possibly could. I think that's a rough approximation?
- jfk13 7y agoI'm not sure I can describe any better, but I think most English speakers would tend to produce a glottal stop [ʔ] between the vowels in response to that description, rather than a pharyngeal fricative.
- mehrdadn 7y agoYeah that's true. Also just realized I wrote constant when I meant consonant... hope that wasn't confusing.
