I took some time to learn a whole bunch of consonants from different West African languages for the sake of getting names right while running a D&D game. This one gave me, as a native English speaker, even more trouble than the double-articulated ones
I frequently wind up looking up pronunciations on Wikipedia’s IPA keys just to figure out how some sounds are made, and the description for this one baffled me. I’m so glad when words have a pronunciation audit sample like this one, otherwise I’d never have figured it out
This is what it sounds like, apparently. Scroll down to Audio sample.

It’s not often that we have to learn to make sounds like breathing in instead of out!
