Fascinating, Lloyd! The first vowel of each dipthong is an ah, each coming
from progressively further back in the mouth as you go down the list. But I
think in the case of *shun,* it has turned into what I would not call an
*ah.* Isn't that the sound depicted by the upside down V which is a variety
of *ooo* or *u* and not an ah at all?

Doris, one of the New Jersey sopranos, but with FAMILY in Texas, Lousiana,
Colorado, Arizona and California. The only cosa nostra I know about is
operatic.
