| A form transcribed with an initial vowel, whether as a lexical entry or by virtue of initial dropping (see 1.2.4), when intonation-initial, is realized with a lax initial glottal catch that varies with a glottalized velar nasal and a full velar nasal. The glottalized velar nasal is written ng| where phonetics is at issue; the full velar nasal is identical to that of ngul 'and then', which, however, never exhibits this variation. The vowel-initial variant of pam 'person', am, is not attested with an initial nasal of any kind. | ||
