OK now? -- Prince Kassad 12:52, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

The example sentence doesn't sound very natural to me, but I can't quite put my finger on why. The def itself seems O.K. to me. We can speak of the "attestation" of a phonetic or phonological feature (say, the lowering of a vowel), which doesn't quite mean that the sound itself appeared in records, but it's close enough. —Ruakh_TALK 14:31, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I've changed the usex to something that hopefully doesn't sound quite so forced — see what you think. — Pingku^dimmi 06:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
