[edit] suggestions

hi. i think that this article could be organized better. although it is following the "places" of articulation as traditionally thought of, it could be laid out in a more logical way more in accord with actual articulation. so, specifically, i suggest the following:

  • notion of passive & active articulators
  • detailed discussion of the "places" used on tongue (an active articulator), lips, top of oral cavity
  • mention general regions (i.e. oral cavity, nasal cavity, etc.)
  • include diagrams showing the artic. places

something like this, anyway. peace – ishwar  (speak) 04:52, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)

[edit] Alveolus

The following passage appears in the text:

Alveolar: between the front of the tongue and the ridge behind the gums (the alveolus)

The [[alveolus]] wikilink lead to a disambiguation page, on which appears Dental alveolus; however, the usage here appears to be distinct from that described in "dental alveolus". Should an additional term be added to the Alveolus disambiguation page as a third anatomical feature? Courtland 01:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Should be alveolar ridge. — kwami 02:20, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
