Tongue = lingua (limbã), tooth = dent- (dinte). Labial refers
to the lips
(buze).

S(h)ibilants are often accompanied by lip rounding (e.g. "sh"
in English and
"ch" in French).

[Moeller] this is what i wanted to show. Is difficult to say
"z" in romanian with labials. You will get this "th" or "dz"
but they are far away from "z".
We speak about the "z" which is to find in barZa, brânZa,
vieZure, Zgribuli, Zapada, Zâmbet, ViZuina, Zer and so one.
This one is a clear, strong, very pronounced "z" and not dz,
th, ts.
These are never to substitute in romanian language you canot
say instead of Sharpe zarpe or dzarpe or tsarpe.
