Flaid /fl?d/ rhymes with 'plaid', not 'played'.
A rectal egressive might be more effective.Whimemsz wrote:***LINGUO-LABIAL TRILL***
That sounds like the beginning of a chillin? rap song. Too bad I loathe rap.

Aw, don't censor yourself! I'd like to know what could make Whimemsz himself, the master of disgusting wordplay, say "Gross...".Shm Jay wrote:You have to go back and read my edited comment.Whimemsz wrote:Gross...
I'll leave everyone to ruminate on the possibilities/connotations of the ingressive form.A rectal egressive might be more effective.
I didn?t censor myself! I just added the second sentence.pharazon wrote: Aw, don't censor yourself! I'd like to know what could make Whimemsz himself, the master of disgusting wordplay, say "Gross...".
Anyway, what would be most effective would be an open, lax, unvoiced, whispery egressive, not a voiced or creaky one.

Well, in that case, it's Mark's fault for choosing such a silly example word. I'd never heard it used once in my life. Why couldn't he have said Flaid rhymes with "mad" or "dad" or any of the dozens of other words ending in /æd/?Mark's Flaidish page wrote:(ai) is always /?/ and (au) is always /o/.

Like ad, bad, cad, dad, fad, gad, had, jad, lad, mad, pad, rad, sad, tad, yad, and wad(ok, so maybe not wad).
If you don't mind being archaic, you can add oad and xad; various british dialects yield vad and zad, while US slang supplies nad. There's no ead, iad, kad, qad or uad, but there is eadi, and qadi, and a prefix kad-.
Does anyone know of a spelling where any letter in the alphabet can be used as the initial and still yield a word in the OED?

But the river tripped on her by and by, lapping
as though her heart was brook: Why, why, why! Weh, O weh
I'se so silly to be flowing but I no canna stay!

-u is only 2 or 3 away.
There is no gu or zu, and fu only occurs in chinese phrases, never by itself.
-ie is 5 away: no iie, oie, qie, xie or zie.

You don't say. Not really worth all the bother, though, was it?Dudicon wrote:I had always pronounced "Aidan" as /aid{n/, until I learned it was a real name and turned off my linguistic receptors when reading it.
And it seems obvious to me that Mark used "plaid" as the example word because the transcription of the /{/ sound is the same as in "Flaid."
And I pronounced Aidan correctly... because Aidan Lynch is a character in Goblet of Fire, and it doesn't have the same ring to it with /aI/.
