Subject: [TIED] Breathy and
Creaky.
OK. I have the S/H-ware necessary to create
sound files. But it's late in the night here and I can't expose my family to
all those breathy and creaky noises. Please wait till tomorrow.

Piotr is striving mightily to explain breathy-voiced and
creaky-voiced in words. What we really need, of course, are sound files. I do
know that some people on cybalist and/or phoNet have the soft/hardware
to create such files, but I don't know if they can manage this particular set
of sounds. As for the disk space to support such sounds, go to the search
engines and use the free space they offer.
The one sound I really want to hear is Czech r-hacek (r-caron),
[ř], as in the composer Dvořák's name.
This is probably the most sensational phoneme in any Indo-European
language.
My next computer, probably a cadillac from Gateway, will have all the
goodies, but presently, I don't.
Mark.
