[ʡ͡ʜ] and [ʡ͜ʢ] are allophones of [q͡χ] and [ɢ͡ʁ] when near branchial consonants.

Consonants to the right are prebranchialized. [⁶] represents prebranchialization, when air is let out of the gills before the consonant is pronounced.

En za mathong hwo Muing de,
“Llum bi mathu jejden we!”
En za mathend hwo Scham do,
Llatam ful hwi jiddeth wo.
And so the young prince wept,
"Show me how to be free!"
And so the priest bit his tongue,
And swept him off his feet.
