    That would interrupt airflow would it not?

      Not if your lips just touch lightly in the middle and the air flows around the sides.

      Maybe it’s a regional thing, but that’s also how I say that sound.

          Yeah - I mean, I can say an f-word like “fountain” without lowering my upper lip and (to my ears at least) it sounds almost the same if not identical, but I have to do it consciously and it feels unnatural.

      You don’t purse the lips together, they’re lightly touching allowing air to go through
