    Easy enough to do, it's not a name you'd see a lot of, and it sounds right either way.

  2. An experiment in non-segmental metathesis

    "Wasp" developed from earlier "waps". The apparent movement/exchange of /p/ and /s/ can be modelled as a gradual change using morphing. In this spectrographic video clip, the pale valley around t = 15 is the low-intensity [p] closure, which progressively "fills up" with sibilance, while at the same time, the sibilant ridge at about t = 30 descends to a valley, the new, now later [p] closure.
