Daisies, v. 2
| We did not laugh and we did not speak | 5 |
| As we wandered happily to and fro; | |
| I kissed my dear on either cheek, | |
| In the bud of the morning—O. |

[hw] vs. [w]
Which old witch?
[hwɪtʃ] vs. [wɪtʃ]
To help us all understand the point, our Diction class pointed me to this famous scene from "Family Guy."
So is it Cool [hwɪp] or Cool [wɪp] ? The pertinent scenes start at :52.

Cognates
When we apply that to consonants in Diction for Singers, we are talking about consonants that are only differentiated by their voicing:
For example:
[p] and [b] have the same "middle name" and "last name" - they are only differentiated by their voicing so they are "cognates."
[p] is unvoiced - bilabial - plosive
[b] is voiced - bilabial - plosive
The two other pairs of cognates:
[d] and [t] (these are voiced/unvoiced - alveolar - plosives)
[g] and [k] (these are voiced/unvoiced - velar - plosives)
