:      THIS example from PK is not all that impressive. At best, it is
: confusedly stated, if it is supposed to illustrate opening glottal stops at
: all, which is not clear, since it is not clear if he is talking about one
: word or two, or if he is talking about the explicit separation of words in
: general, or just about the pronunciation of a glottal stop as it begins a
: word. I, for one, would differently pronounce {bang chu'} [new love] and
: {bangchu'} [he loved her perfectly], yet the pause between the two words of
: the first example has nothing to do with a glottal stop.

:      How's that for an entry in the HolQeD contest?
: 
:      {bang chu' taH ghaH} [He endures new love]
:      {bangchu'taH ghaH} [He always loves perfectly]
