Hum, I'm not aware of a definition of "sonorant" that includes [z]... The IPA-help program lists [b_k] and [a_k] as examples of the creaky-voice diacritic, if that means anything... Also a search for "glottalized" finds this definition: http://www.xrefer.com/entry/571590 "Produced with a secondary articulation of the vocal cords: cf. glottal reinforcement. Also in the same sense as ejective. A *glottalized tone* is one realized by creaky voice." I don't know what stød sounds like, but I have in several places heard it described as "creaky voice". *Muke!
