  Inelastic neutron scattering study of the perovskite relaxor ferroelectric
PZN:8%PT elucidates the origin of the previously reported unusual kink on the
low frequency transverse phonon dispersion curve (known as "waterfall" effect).
We show that its position depends on the choice of the Brillouin zone and that
the relation of its position to the size of the polar nanoregions is highly
improbable. The observation is explained in the framework of a simple model of
coupled damped harmonic oscillators representing the acoustic and optic phonon
branches.
