What word in this link refer to "īsaṃphuṭṭha" (a little bit tongues touching on their base).

I'm alone.



Is my question not clear by my terrible english ?

Sorry theY, I don't understand that question.

Do you want to write "Īsaṃphuṭṭha" using IPA? Or some particular part of the word Īsaṃphuṭṭha?

I want to know a English technical term of Īsaṃphuṭṭha.

You mean the English translation of Īsaṃphuṭṭha?


Mike

Hi TheY
What has the IPA got to do with it?
how do you understand the word?

Dear Cittasanto,

I'm sorry. I don't understand you question.

I answer by my guess:

I think IPA may make a word that refer to Īsaṃphuṭṭha.

Īsaṃphuṭṭha mean "a little bit tongues touching on their base".

It is a skill to pronounce sanskrit--saṅvuta, vivaṭṭa, phuttha, and īsaṃphuṭṭha.

Pali just has only phuttha, and īsaṃphuṭṭha (saddanītisuttamālā).

Ajahn Dhammanando would be able to answer this I am not sure if anyone else could sufficiently.

which letter are you referring to being pronounced like that?
maybe this PDF would be of assistance

Thank you, so helpful e-book.

1. saṅvuta= Open Back Rounded Vowel.
2. vivaṭṭa= Other Vowels.
3. phuttha= Stop.
4. īsaṃphuṭṭha= Approximant (+Fricative).
