 Labialised labial consonants /mʷ/, /bʷ/, /pʷ/ (and sometimes /fʷ/~/ɸ/) occur as separate phonemese in a few dialects. But most dialects have merged these with the plain labials.
+Except for the semivowels /j/, /ʔj/, /ɥ/, /ʔɥ/, /w/, /ʔw/, plain and glottalised sonorants are in free variation word initially. In emphatic pronunciation they are always pronounced glottalised, and otherwise they are not. This analysis treats them as being glottalised underlyingly.
+Velar nasals /ŋ/ and /ŋʷ/ cannot occur word initially.
