Retroflex sounds

[Lars Martin Fosse]

>Hock also seems inconsistent when he insists upon the relevance of

>allophonic rather than structural, as Jacob Baltuch has observed ],

At the risk of repeating myself (I am not sure if I have commented upon this
before): retroflexion in spoken East Norwegian is not allophonic.
