<br>
<br>Thanks, Don.  That was what I wanted.  Flattening certainly rolls off the
<br>tongue more smoothly than monophthongization.  I'll introduce it my students
<br>with the caveat that it is not official or proper or technical vocabulary.
<br>
<br>Re the flattening of the au diphthong: this is (was) common to me in my youth
<br>when many of my Roman Catholic friends referred to the Lord's Prayer as the
<br>[a:] Father.  The professor of linguistics I had in grad school at UMass
<br>thought that Archbishop Cushing ruined JFK's funeral when he intoned [a:]
<br>Father.
