I used a different definition of glottalic.
When I said glottalic I meant 'consonant followed by glottal stop'.
I made this distinction because in Yucatec there is a minimal pair this
way.
Maybe the above definition is better.
What about ejective nasals and sonorants and sibilants?
They cannot simply be ejective, because the airstream is still there, even
though they function that way in a phonology.
