I keep mixing Kirshenbaum and X-SAMPA, that's a problem. I can't decide on
which one I like best. Retroflexes I usually mark with a period afterwards:
t. d. s. n. r. l. I'm used to using my own translit.

And an ejective is always glottalized, but a glottalized consonant isn't
always ejective. Korean glottalized consonants are "tense", but not
ejective.
