But thanks all of you, because this was a new resource for me - and has also led onto this fantastic phonetics guide:

Well, that does it, the sadistic delight and salivating expectation of my doom evinced by the Fool and his brythonic buddy have concvinced me to abandon the email notification system. The "m" in my handle shall not stand for mantler.

Good find, mav. I'm going to put that one up with the other IPA link on my page, since they complement each other quite nicely.

and at the risk of advertising a 'commercial' site, this low-cost font set for all kindsa languages may be of interest to some others around these parts...

Thanks, mav. I removed xrefer from my site because they are now entirely commercial, aimed at institutional buyers, but I still have pay-to-use sites like Britannica up, so I don't think I would be selling out too much if I did include it. D'ya think a caveat for commercial sites in my list is in order?

I never have strong reservations about this unless it's 'in your face' spam, but I drew attention to that just out of deference to those of delicate feelings ;)

Wow--WOW! I've been hoping and hoping that I'd someday find again something that would give me the descriptions of the sounds that this site gives. I have absolutely no memory of what class I had these in in college, but I was fascinated by learning them, and thought it wonderful to know what the professor meant when he'd say, for ex., voiced velar stop. I just loved it!

I found this Latin grammar site in my search for and answer to my preventive/imaginative question in Misc. I'm including the top level page, which covers more than just Latin grammar, for the humor shown in his definition section.

Thanks, Faldage. The OAQ were well put together, I especially liked his answer to the question of how to pronouce Caesar.
