I am so far from having even the slightest problem saying ihi that I'm wondering if I'm missing something. My toungue doesn't move position in my mouth *at* *all* to say ihi; there's merely a slight change in flexure in the middle. Actually, if someone who understands this discussion wants to call me on the phone and tell me if I'm doing something drastically wrong, just mail me privately (I can pay the long distance). -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** I'm a *male* Robin. .i le pamoi velru'e zo'u jmaji le plibu taxfu .i le remoi velru'e zo'u mo .i le cimoi velru'e zo'u ba'e prali .uisai http://www.lojban.org/ *** to sa'a cu'u lei pibyta'u cridrnoma toi
