It's bad phonologically too assuming the 'she' is an English speaker - aren't alveolar nasals unlikely before velar stops given nasal assimilation?
And when was the last time Chomsky wrote anything about phonetics?

would describe as a dental fricative, but more as an alveolar nasal
followed by a velar stop.
