Well, I have a book on Swedish phone*ics for Swedish-as-a-second-language
teachers which claims [w] and a similar Danish book which claims
[M\]. Since the Danish book is newer I believed in it, but on second
tought it may well be the case that Danish /w/ is over-labialized, so that
the Polish sound is less labialized than the Danish sound, but still labial.
