Perhaps it's a little like the "veit" and "beit" in Hebrew?  Or the subtle 
difference in the way Latin Americans and Spaniards say "veces"?

Tea is a soft 't', while cat is hard 't'.  Maybe someone more astute in 
linguistics, like Robert Paul, can enlighten us as to examples of soft and hard 
t's in English.  Russian has hard t's too.  It's a mix, like English.
