စ (sa̰) and စပ် (saʔ)
Pronunciation of စ (sa̰; verb, to begin) and စပ် (saʔ; adj. hot to taste)
I need a native Burmese speaker to pronounce these 2 words စ (sa̰; verb, to begin) and စပ် (saʔ; adj. hot to taste) so I can hear the difference between a သက်သံ (theh than, creaky tone) and a တိုင်သံ (tain than, checked or stopped tone).
စ (sa̰) is pronounced with a သက်သံ (theh than, creaky tone)
စပ် (saʔ) is pronounced with a တိုင်သံ (tain than, checked or stopped tone)
I have added the words to forvo.com so that you can record the correct pronunciation of these 2 words.

I am requesting that any native Burmese speaker who can pronounce those words, please record those words for me so I can hear the difference between a သက်သံ and a တိုင်သံ. Jezu be
