Say the word "odd".....one's tongue hits the roof of one's mouth, then
settles, stops moving*....

...then P's magnificent link of that tongue-stop--beyond the zero (of the
stop) with P. 85, line 8
"the silent extinction beyond the zero"......

Who f'in else could DO THIS?

*scientists discuss how glottal are stops or not, whether they involve the
tongue or just (mostly)
the throat...
