4. (o) Low/Neutral Tongue

• Tongue is neutral, tip tucked behind bottom teeth ( no tension)
• Lips rounded

Areas

5.(r) Coronal Post Alveolar Rhotic

Part II

• Rolled/Trilled R: Tip of tongue vibrates against alveolar ridge

• Why rolled? Not in between two vowel, so doesn't constitute a tap

• Back of tongue is inactive and low/neutral
