[hivemind] Look on my works ye mighty and despair

[KitanaVorr]

I don't know though I am pretty small - almost munchkin like. Five feet tall. Though my sister is shorter! she's 4'10 but damn her, she's much more voluptuous

Is there an English word you can think of that has the vowel in it? (If not, that's OK.) Or, is there an English vowel that sounds quite like it? I can't do IPA well here but:

[a] like in "father"?
[ae] like in "cat"?
like in "mutt"?

Random guessing going on: is it a nasalised vowel? (One that's pronounced through the nose. Eg, does it sound like the end of a French word that ends with an "n"?)

hmmm...the interesting thing is that a French monk took the Vietnamese language which at that point had characters like the Chinese language - he made the written language it is today which is a marked difference from the usual Asian languages you see.

I think its aaaaa....like cat.

Then call up your folks, find an old home video! You can do it!

Triple whammy on my list!
I like:
A- Little women.
B- Asian women.
C- Women with ANY accent.
Actually make that a quadruple whammy:
D - SMART women.

You're a shocker!

My fiance is a petite 5'1", so that gives me an idication on how small you are

That is fascinating Eternalknight! You are very interesting and very perceptive. So interesting and so perceptive that I think we will now fight with knives! *jagged knife pops out from inside of shirt sleeve and into hand* *heavy metal riff begins playing* *waves knife*
[rhaspy voice from offstage]
YEAH! TO THE DEATH!

That is interesting. But it's long? [hae

So, then we've got the next sound (the "n" or "nh"). A few possibilities:

It's [n] like at the end of "gun"
It's [ng] like at the end of "sing"
It's [N], which is further back in the mouth than [ng], almost like you're swallowing it.

Or it's something else entirely!
