This article describes the main acoustic properties of breathy vowels in Amuzgo and creaky vowels in Zapotec. Following Daniel Silverman's phasing and recoverability hypothesis, I propose an alternative interpretation of so-called ballistic syllables in Amuzgo. Drawing on the phasing hypotheis in the instrumental analysis of creaky vowels in Zapotec, I then address the issue of articulatory incompatibility of gestures involved in creakiness and pitch.
