No idea, but given the fact that I can't remember having been notified of a
description... :-)

I find it lovely. :-)

No, the latter is a globally rarer sound, and difficult to explain. Try
saying "d" with the tongue in the "y" position ("y" as in "yes, you"). It's
sort of how like Spanish ñ is a kind of n + y fusion, except that Hungarian
gy and ny are even closer fusions. Very common in Russian, in case that
helps you... :-/
