I do find this and your work very interesting Michael--can you say
more about--
"When a native purr is broken at the rate of speech, one has a highly
unusual and complex utterance."
Thanks,

shows similar natural sounds that are adapted to communicate human
words. For example, animals including some birds purr. So I hear my
parrot contentedly purring, and all is well. Yet, she amuses herself
using a variation of a purr to say human words, phrases, and
sentences.
Most humans are not experienced with such sounds and as a result do
not "hear" the words, which is a disconnect in their brain between
the sound and the stored recognition for the word.=A0I had hoped some
recordists would be interested in these phenomena.
