<br>Another question for you real phoneticians out there.  Is there any
<br>character in the IPA that would represent what Pyles and Algeo call the
<br>Indo-European *palatal k?  I don't want to use /k/, because it might confuse
<br>my students.  The IPA chart on the end papers of Pyles/Algeo has /c/ as a
<br>palatal plosive--is that the same as the IE sound?  Close enough?  Would /c/
<br>represent the sound of the first  k  in  kick , or is it something different
<br>altogether?

<br>You know, years ago,  my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this
<br>world, Elwood, you must be . . ."--she always called me 'Elwood'--"In this
<br>world, Elwood, you must be oh, so smart or oh, so pleasant."  Well, for
<br>years I was smart.  I recommend pleasant.  And you may quote me.
