What, you mean as an initial consonant cluster? I
don't know of any, but I would think that quite a few
languages would allow [Nm] as a medial or final,
though I would be hard-pressed not to simplify the
cluster (whether by epenthesis or assimilation).

Consider the English examples /hangman/ and /hang
'em/, which I pronounce as [h&N.m&@n] and [h&N.m=],
respectively.

In the first example, I clearly place [N] and [m] in
seperate syllables; in the second, I make [m] a
syllable of its own. I guess it depends on how you
want to look at it.

not even listen, simply wait, just learn to become quiet, and still, and
solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no
choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet."
