phoneme is realized as an epiglottal fricative in the coda or preceding another consonant.

The prenasalized consonants are analyzed as units for two reasons. First, there is a phoneme /NG/, as in /NGocna/ "large spider", but neither /N/ nor /G/ exist as independent phonemes. Second, there are clusters of fricatives and prenasalized voiced stops, as in /zmbri/ "willow", but never clusters of fricatives
