Alveolar obstruents are not affected by voiceness; though often transcribed as devoiced /d̥ z̥/, they may be variably pronounced as /t~d/ and /s~z/ respectively and are ultimately dependent on speaker.

/ɰ/ is an intervocalic allophone of /ɣ/, and has also been described as a vocalised allophone /ɨ/; however, the general consensus is that it is an approximant.

⟨gy⟩ only appears in [[Etzeá]] loanwords, such as '''''gy'''êt'' [[Help:IPA|[ˈjɛd̥]]] "hill" (from Etzeá ''gyed'' "mountain"); between vowels, it is pronounced as a doubled /jj/, such as ''pi'''gy'''êro''.
