Actually, I was just wondering b/c I was reading about attitudinals and 
having a hard time imagining there is enough phonological "space" to be 
very clear when speaking, e.g. mishearing .u'o as u'u takes one from 
courage to repentance. That's a big difference in meaning for such a small 
phonological shift. I wonder about this with much of the language, but it 
stands out here in particular.
