Well, come to think of it, I think I've also heard that too, but it's
so rarely that it's the kind of thing that makes me pause for a moment.
Not a long moment, mind you. :)
But I don't think it's particularly more efficient, as I think /Insaid dZouk/
flows better for some reason... maybe it's because the articulation is
different (you have to close off the nasal passage before you get to
the regular oral stop).
