"the gun discharged on its own during the struggle"
How is d pronounced here? Is it like [t] or like [d] (especially given that the following word "on" starts with a vowel sound)?
Neither Webster, nor Cambridge, nor Collins provide pronunciation transcriptions for "ed" in the end of some verbs' past forms.
It's pronounced [d]. The bridge between the [dʒ] and the [d] may be difficult for native speakers of languages that lack the [dʒ] sound or that avoid combinations of consonants.
