       I’m reading a #linguistics work on Aboriginal Australian languages, and while it generally uses Americanist transcription it confusingly mixes in numerals—especially 7, but also 3 sometimes. I’m guessing these are workarounds for font limitations, but they’re not explained.I’m guessing that <7> is standing in for <ʔ> like in Squamish (though I have to fight my instinct to read it as Arabic <ح>!). Could <3> be <ʒ> (representing IPA /dz/)?

       @tkinias You get to deal with such a wide range of interesting stuff in your job. Rather a bit broader than, say, the usual "Modern France" or "England Since the Glorious Revolution"

       @CitizenWald seriously! it’s one of the things I really appreciate about it—the tradeoff for the heavy teaching load is that I get to engage with really diverse topics(this in particular is a rabbit-hole I went down, occasioned by my wanting to talk about the preconquest & colonial trepang fisheries in northern Australia in my Food in World History class in the fall)
