We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Liquid consonants in Spanish can be characterized as [+/- tense], however,
this characterization poses a problem for the coherence of the system,
since [+tense] consonants are otherwise unvoiced. The system does not seem
to allow many other alternatives. The question is the following:

Has the strident feature been used in liquids in any language?
