I was very proud of myself for successfully making an cayn for the first time yesterday.

But I'm so stupid! Walking back from arabic today (practicing the cayn) I realized that pharyngialization is simply the difference between Homer and Marge (saying "mmm").

The reason this makes me stupid is I already knew that. It just took my independent discovery of the fact to get it to float free and drift to the top of my memory.

Freakin' pharyngials.

arabic, phonetics
