| Apr 2, 2013 at 14:13 | comment | added | tchrist♦ | @Spatz Yes, one can certainly do so. Practice saying fifths, sixths, twelfths until you have it down pat. Once that’s done, you can then procede to The sixth sick sheik’s sixth sheep’s sick, surely one of the most pleasurable phrases in the English language. | |
| Apr 2, 2013 at 14:10 | comment | added | Spatz | So, are you saying that it is possible to pronounce the fricative dental sound θ (or ð) and the fricative alveolar sound s without putting a vowel in the middle? That sounds very hard to me but I am not a native speaker! | |
