**The sequence /ŋɽ/ may become a retroflex lateral nasal [ɳᶩ] or, for some speakers, even a weak retroflex click [ᵑǃ˞].
**The sequence /ŋɽ/ may become a retroflex lateral nasal [ɳᶩ] or, for some speakers, even a weak retroflex click [ᵑǃ˞].
**/ɬɽ, ɮɽ/ may further simplify to [ꞎ, ɮ], giving those allophones phonemic status.
*/s, z/ are alveolar retracted [s̠, z̠], similar to the Northern/Central Castillan Spanish and Modern Greek counterparts. They have retroflex allophones [ʂ, ʐ] next to /ɺ˞~ɭ/.
