That's not very unusual at all. A lot of langs have /q/ but no voiced uvular stop. Which makes sense, if you think about it. /G"/ is (at least I think so) harder to make than /q/, due to the narrow space between the glottis and the uvula for vibrating. -- "Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia." -- Joseph Wood Krutch http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files/ http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ #: 18656696 AIM screen-name: NikTailor
