pterodactyl I also renamed my list of words with both hard and soft C's. Jul 30, 2010
ruzuzu The new title is great, pterodactyl! Jul 30, 2010
pterodactyl Renamed the list. It is "Garbage Day" no more. Jul 30, 2010
pterodactyl Yarb -- sledging and dodging are interesting cases, but I think they belong on their own list. I'm looking for both /g/ and /dʒ/. /ŋ/ is interesting, but it doesn't fit the pattern. Jul 30, 2010
ruzuzu I like its name, although I suppose you could try for something in the G-G family. *starts humming "The Night They Invented Champagne"* Jul 29, 2010
yarb How about "-ing" words like sledging or dodging? Or, better, gyving? Jul 29, 2010
pterodactyl Thanks! I like this list too. But I don't like its name -- any suggestions for a new name? Jul 29, 2010

bilby I hope there's a cameo by gelignite in The Plosive Surprise. Apr 10, 2008
pterodactyl Hmm... for me, jug lacks the coolness factor that the G-G words have. In the word gigantic, for example, I see a tale of breathless melodrama:
I was a small vowel in the big city. They were a pair of brawny identical twins, with nice mouthfeel and some cute descenders... but I never should have gotten between them, because one of them harbored a dangerous secret. He told me he was an affricate, and, like a fool, I believed him...
The Plosive Surprise, now playing in a theater near you. Apr 10, 2008
bilby Do they have to be written with gs? I'm thinking of a word like jug which certainly has the hard and soft sounds. Apr 10, 2008
