| Comments: | GG5 only has "affricate". I think we can keep "affricative". |

| Comments: | "Affricate" is a much more common term. Going by result counts from quoted Google searches (not the greatest method, I know) I got <25'000 for "affricative" and >300'000 for "affricate", so maybe affricative could even be removed as a definition. |
