The places of articulation are defined as labial (using the lips), dental (near the teeth), palatal (post-alveolar?) and dorsal (allophonically palatal, velar and uvular, probably). ''Lateralised'' (dental plosive and lateral combinations included) is given as a place of articulation, but this is more a manner of articulation. Finally, there is the glottal place of articulation, which is provided for a symmetry's sake.
The places of articulation are defined as follows:
* '''labial:''' using the lips
* '''dental: ''' near the teeth or alveolar ridge
* '''lateralised''' dental laterals and lateralised dental affricates
* '''post-alveolar: ''' either palatal or retroflex
* '''dorsal: ''' allophonically palatal, velar and uvular, probably
* and finally, '''glottal: ''' provided for a symmetry's sake, see phonemic brackets


Plosives are distinguished by place of articulation and phonation. The three phonations are fortis (with a [http://clas.mq.edu.au/speech/phonetics/phonetics/airstream_laryngeal/vot.html positive VOT] and/or preaspiration, i.e. ''voiceless''), tense (not well defined, but perhaps having a neutral VOT, glottalisation, or some other feature), and lenis (with a neutral to negative VOT, i.e. ''voiced'').

Some additional notes:
* Voiceless sonorants and /r/ can only occur at the start of a syllable. A voiceless sonorant (or /r/) at the end of a syllable implies a null-nucleus, and as such the consonant is still often released, and a dummy vowel may be inserted.
