Aspiration

Description

Aspiration means breathing - so the addition of an Aspirated effector means the sound is made breathing in or out - i.e. using the lungs. No Aspirated effector present means the sound is made using air in the mouth or with the airway (epiglottis) closed. Such sounds are called injectives or ejectives.
