Mariner has been reading and watching educational shows more than usual because the rife of today’s world seems beyond the pale. One is horrified when one sees how much of humanity lives life in ten square feet of […]

Well spoken, Robert. Where would our vowels and consonants be without aspiration slurring by the lips and all those other skeleton parts? You note that consonants also can be slurred with skeletal manipulations. An abstract example of mariner’s premise: The first wolf, Canus lupus appeared about 1 million years ago. Today there are several varieties of wolves and countless variations of dogs – even the wiener schnitzel. But they are all variations of lupus, that is, vowels and consonants constrained by the human genome.
While my insights were derived from a troublesome night’s sleep and somewhat simplistic, still I believe we are close in our definition of the issue – if only I were a world renowned philologist.
Great retort!
