When I read "lateral plosive," my first thought was of that sound
written as "tl" in the Aztec language, e.g., QuetzalcoaTL. The
plosiveness of the T followed by the lateral release of the L. Sound
correct? Of course, TL is unvoiced. There could be a voiced variant
DL. Maybe it's an affricate, though.
