Similarly the unaspirated velar /k/ (orthographic {{angbr|{{spell-nv|g}}}}) is realized as with optional voiced velar frication following the stop burst: [k] ~ [kɣ]. The unaspirated lateral /tɬ/ (orthographic {{angbr|{{spell-nv|dl}}}}) typically has a voiced [[lateral release (phonetics)|lateral release]], [tˡ], of a duration comparable to the release of the /k/ and much shorter than the unaspirated fricatives /ts/, /tʃ/. However, the aspirated and ejective laterals are true fricatives.

While the aspiration of stops is markedly long compared to most other languages, the aspiration of the affricates is quite short: the main feature distinguishing /ts/ and /tʃ/ from /tsʰ/ and /~~tʃʰ~~/ is that the frication is half again as long in the latter: [tsˑʰ], [~~tʃʰˑ~~]~~. /tɬʰ/ is similarly long~~, [~~tɬˑʰ~~]. The ejectives /tsʼ/, /~~tɬʼ~~/, /~~tʃʼ~~/, on the other hand, have short frication, presumably due to the lack of [[airstream mechanism|pulmonic airflow]]. There is a period of near silence before the glottalized onset of the vowel~~. In /tɬʼ/ there may be a double glottal release, or a [[creaky voice|creaky]] onset to the vowel not found in the other ejective affricates~~.

While the aspiration of stops is markedly long compared to most other languages, the aspiration of the affricates is quite short: the main feature distinguishing /ts/, /tʂ/ and /tɕ/ from /tsʰ/, /tʂʰ/ and /tɕʰ/ is that the frication is half again as long in the latter: [tsˑʰ], [tʂʰˑ], [tɕʰˑ]. The ejectives /tsʼ/, /tʂʼ/, /tɕʼ/, on the other hand, have short frication, presumably due to the lack of [[airstream mechanism|pulmonic airflow]]. There is a period of near silence before the glottalized onset of the vowel.
