The places of articulation are defined as labial | 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''). | Plosives are distinguished by place of articulation and phonation.

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. | |||
