"tl" in Chipotle

[W Brewer]

RE: [belted-L, voiceless dental or alveolar lateral fricative]
EP:  <<English does not really have [=C9=AC] (this is also the same sound

WB: Actually, English does have a partially devoiced lateral after
aspiration & voiceless fricatives [L-with-subscript-circle]. (Cf. Wikip
s.v. <Llewelen>, anglicized <Flewellen>.)
