Actually, /h/ is the glottal fricative. You're right about /z/ being voiced, but /s/ and /z/ are the voiceless and voiced alveolar fricatives.
Aspiration occurs with plosives, mostly, like /d/, /t/ and /p/, but aspiration is not a primary manner of articulation, nor does it indicate voice. It refers to a tertiary sound made using the breath after plosion. An aspirated /t/, for example, has some breath coming out after it. /h/ does not involve plosion, thus it can't be aspirated. |
I stand corrected.
But then.. why did I find this definition in two dictionaries? (different publishers, too)
