Labialized

Before rounded vowels, only labialized velars occur, e.g. /kʷoːɽaː/ ('ringworm'). citation Glottalic consonants Hausa has glottalic consonants (implosives and ejectives) at four or five places of articulation (depending on the dialect).

In the languages of those families that do retain plain velars, both the plain and labialized velars are actually pre-velar, perhaps to make them more distinct from the uvulars which may actually be post-velar.
