Comments:

All vowels also occur long, and gemination of
consonants is distinctive. "At least two significant
tones occur" (Thompson). Voiced prenasalized stops occur
and velars also occur labialized. Thompson treats these
as sequences but does not provide a reasoning. Bender
(1968) notes that these are among a longer list of
word-medial clusters.
