Do Bergman and Stockbauer mean that N is isomorphic to C,
or that N is isomorphic to a _subset_ of C? (Leaving out
the words "a subset of" led to a huge argument in another
recent thread.)

I mean N is isomorphic to C.

Thanks TP for your clearer and more formal explanations and the
additional information and questions. While I am looking further into
the other points you raised, I like to respond to this paragraph now.

I have run into difficulties confirming this claim (I already noted
before that I was not confident with this one). I need to learn how
Praat formant analysis works. This may take time.

Good of you to clarify that.

That's ridiculous, by the way. Obviously ridiculous, for many
obvious reasons.
