Subject: Re: nasal flaps?



Ron,



Up here in Michigan they call nasal flaps 'snorts' (like what a bull does).

Can you guess what they call anal trills?

Us Louisvillians didn't know none of this stuff. Good thing I come up North.

nasal flap



his tongue must be longer than mine if he can flap it against his nose . . .

or does his nasal cavity have some moving part that mine doesn't?
