    I also wanted to add another aspect to this test:
    The difference between wug-s (voiced fricative, sounds like z) and wug-s (unvoiced, sounds like s).

    As an example:
    Dogs (dog/z/)
    Cats (cat/s/)

    The same pluralization rule is applied to both words, but the actual sounds made are different depending on the voicing of the previous sound/letter. You can feel the ‘voicing’ (vibration) of different sounds by putting your hand on your throat while saying these words.

    Also fun fact I have a tattoo of a wug :)
