NB: There is no realization of as nasal as /ŋ/, even before a velar obstruent. In many cases, an epenthetic <e> may intervene between <n> and a velar (e.g. ''hánek'' ‘grandfather’, from ''Hank''), but even when it does not, the letters are pronounced independently (e.g. ''gýnko'' /'gɪn.ko/ ‘ginko’, not **/'gɪŋ.ko/).
