- What is the term for the unit of speech that takes into account the preceeding
- and trailing sounds? I seem to recall reading something about that using this
- method instead of phonemes produced much more normal sounding speech, and that
- there were still a reasonable (300-400?) number of these units in the english
- language.

- Thanks,
