Dear Valerie, In reference to Bug, I changed it in my dictionary to the straight thumb, because the thumb is actually in contact with the nose, and it is not a bent thumb. There is no minimal pair that divides the "West Coast" bug with the bent "Thumb-Index-Middle" but the "East Coast" thumb is clearly straight. All three of the figures, "Devil, Bug, and Cockroach" all have the thumb in contact with the nose or the temple. There seems to be a clear dialectical difference. Charles | ||||||||
