Comments:

Krauss (1965) reported that there were "3
persons capable of serving adequately as informants for
Eyak". Apart from loanwords /m,n/ "could be interpreted
as w and l respectively, followed by a nasalized vowel".
Short oral vowels are often in free variation, the
non-high vowel variation being obscurely described.
Krauss includes 'aspiration' and 'glottalization' of
vowels as modifications similar to length and
nasalization. Since there are consonants /h,?/, and verb
stems in -V:? ("long glottalized nucleus") seem to count
as closed, these are interpreted as postvocalic -h and -?.
