Round 8: Tossup 10

The Withgott effect blocks this manner of articulation in words chunked into morphological feet like “militarism.” In 2005, a labiodental sound with this manner of articulation (10[1])found in some central African languages was assigned the newest IPA symbol, (-5[1])V with (-5[1])rightward hook. (-5[1])Some American English dictionaries put a haček (“HAH-check”) diacritic below T to indicate this manner of articulation. This less-deliberate manner of articulation contrasts with another type of vibrant in which high pressure causes repeated contact between two articulators, like Spanish’s trilled (-5[1])double R. In a counterbleeding order, this articulation must apply after Canadian raising (10[1])in words like “writer” and “rider.” (-5[1])For 10 points, the IPA symbol fishhook-R represents an alveolar consonant of what manner of articulation characterized by a single (-5[1])brief flicking motion? ■END■ (10[7]0[3])
