Positional Rigidity in the VMS

[davidjackson]

mid/end    mid        mid        mid       mid/end

ongoing, wrangle, elongate, lengthen, bringing

I'm not sure about those, Jkp.
I would pronounce them differently:
ONgoiNg, wraNgle, elonGate, lengTHen, brinGING.

Again, with NC:

once, invincible, fence, wince, dunce chance

It would be /n/s for all except invinCible.

Again, with the next row:

psychology, apse, lopsided, 

/si/cology, apZe, lop-Zide

So I'm not sure if it's different dialects going on, or just me
