Does English, specifically American English, contain any instances of /mj/ ?
Because if it doesn’t that would explain beautifully why the English meow is the only one that doesn’t make use of an approximant…
:3 <3 ?
EDIT: Found my answer. /mj/ can exist, but only before /u:/ and /ʊɹ/ (mute, mural). This still works, though, because meow contains /aʊ/, shifting the /j/ to an /i/! :D Yayayay!
mute, immune, Mewtwo, munition, museum, music, municipal.
