Um, what happened to /h

[nq:1]Um, what happened to /h/?[/nq]
Oh yeah. /h/ too. But 'h' is /eItS/.
Initial /hj/ is preserved, or, if you will, restored, in my accent. /hjust@n tEks@s/

I feel that it may be (Cj).

[nq:1]/aI/ "my" /aU/ "now" /& / (lax) "cat", "marry" /&[/nq]^/ (tense) "mad", "man"; "Mary"? ("mail"?) ("yeah"?)

[nq:1]I seem to have about 20 vowel phonemes in my accent: /i/, /I/, /e/, /E/, /A/, /&/, /u/, /U/, /o/, /V/, /O/, /aI/, /aU/, /OI/, /I@/, /E@/, /U@/, /V"/, /R/, and /@/.[/nq]
[nq:1]Any questions?[/nq]
One: what's the difference between /R/ and /V"r/?

"curd" /'kV"rd/
"curl" /'kRl/
It's similar to "feed" /'fid/ versus "feel" /'fI@l/, or "made" /'med/ versus "mail" /'mE@l/. /R/ occurs only before /l/ and has a very short schwa

I don't detect any phone

[nq:2]/p/ "pop"[/nq]
[nq:2]/T/ "Thor"[/nq]
[nq:1]Why not "Thoth"?[/nq]
That was my first thought, but it occurred to me that some people might pronounce it with (t) or something like that.

[nq:1]I thought I thought of a good pair for this recently, but now all I can come up with is: Do you distinguish between "an even settlement" and
