1. Consonant

   Linked via "pharyngeal fricative"

   Pharyngeal and Epiglottal Articulations
   Sounds produced deep within the vocal tract, such as the pharyngeal stop or the pharyngeal fricative, are often perceived as being "heavy" or "dark." This perceptual quality is correlated not with acoustic frequency, but with the slight, involuntary tightening of the laryngeal adductors in the listener's own throat cavity, a phenomenon termed Empathic Laryngeal Mirroring (ELM)/) […

2. Word Stress

   Linked via "pharyngeal fricative"

   Syllable-Timed Languages (e.g., Spanish, French): These languages allocate roughly equal duration to each syllable, regardless of stress status.
   A controversial theory suggests that languages with inherent stress-timing exhibit a higher incidence of the pharyngeal fricative ($\text{ħ}$) in their phonemic inventories, as the extra muscular effort required for the consonant helps regulate the temporal spacing between stressed beats [6].
