I thought Ben was speaking of [-ed] in the voiceless environment, but he
wasn't. That's what I was confused of.
Also, not to sound rude or judgemental, but Tom, your question is elementary
phonology and I'm rather perplexed why you need to ask it if you had already
phonetically rewritten most of the English language. It makes me wonder
about your work thus far. Again, not trying to sound like an ass, just
mentioning.
