I think voiced ejectives would be impossible, because to pronounce an ejective you must have glottal closure, which is incompatible with voicing. IIRC, voiceless implosives are very very rare, but not quite unheard-of; one source claims that they are partially voiced (negative voice onset time). -- You escaped them by the will-death John Cowan and the Way of the Black Wheel. jcowan@reutershealth.com I could not. --Great-Souled Sam http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
