Return of the minimal pairs

[Dr. John E. McLaughlin]

[From Rick Mc Callister, giving Larry Trask some Scrabble words]
	Another <dh-> word that should be acceptable in Scrabble is dhole.
Perhaps dhoti

[From me]

Before 'dhole' gets mixed up in the [D]/[T] discussion, 'dhole' is
pronounced with initial [d] (it's from some Indian voiced aspirate), not
[D].
