| === Release ===
| |
| Certain (non-resonant) final consonants and clusters have audible release, whereas others are unreleased.
| |
| ==== Released ====
| |
| All obst-obst clusters
| |
| | |
| All ejectives (but safe to assume single ejectives can become unreleased)
| |
| | |
| ==== Unreleased ====
| |
| All single non-ejective final stops
