Sound type · Smooth ResonantVowel pressure · broad-rounded-open pressureMass · medium

Crown is a medium, smooth resonant word. Its broad-rounded-open pressure gives it broad and round. The breath is sealed behind its consonants, the sound built from stops more than air. It rests in balance, neither slack nor strained.

Primary signals

Sound & symbol

PhonesthemesSound clusters (like gl-, sn-, -ump) that recur across unrelated words yet carry a shared felt meaning — gl- with light and glassiness, sn- with the nose and sneaking.

rupture · fracture · compression · rough movement

Vowel pressureThe mood a word's vowels exert. Bright front vowels (ee, i) feel small and sharp; round back vowels (oo, o) feel large, hollow and slow.
