    There's a difference between glottalized consonants and creaky voice.
Creaky voice is a tilda below whatever sonorant--you can have a
creaky-voiced, glottalized [z], if you wanted.  Glottalized is represented
either by a putting a glottal stop before the glottalized segment (so that
"hit" in English would be [hI?t]), or as a super-script--I've seen both.
