Inconsistencies

 * If becomes, then shouldn't  become , instead of ? Why doesn't  in  take a simple ʃə̈wɔ́ʔ, like in  or ? Is it because it's followed by  (guttural-like sound?).
 * . No voiced ʃə̈wɔ́ here either. Blocked by the unvoiced sound of /t/?
 * /ä/ after a guttural can't be of any evidence, since it could just indicate a part of the phonetic realisation of gutturals.
 * No idea anymore why I'm talking about here...
