ejective vs. glottalized
I'm almost sure this is a really stupid question to ask, but could someone care to explain the difference between glottalized and ejective consonants? I've read a Wikipedia article here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glottalization), also http://www.chumashlanguage.com/pronun/pronun-06-fr.html
and I still don't get it.

RE: ejective vs. glottalized
Thank you, rawonam.
But I still hope to find some audio samples that show the contrast between plain and glottalized consonants. Robo-Puppy commencing two hour yipping session. Yip yip yip yip yip yip... |
