Yes, 0270-- but it's _velar_. There doesn't seem to be an _uvular_ approx.

I couldn't see the chars. in your post (thanks, MSN), so don't know what you
were referring to here---

at least in the features I'm using-- (I've called my M\ actually a
centralized sound-- M\_" if I have that right....in Thryomanes/IPA the
dieresis ends up not centered, but atop the right descender and looks
funny.....)

g [+cons -voc +hi +back (-fr -lo) -cont]
G [+cons -voc +hi +back (-fr -lo) +cont]
M\ [-cons -voc +hi +ba (-fr -lo)] correctly speaking
M\_" [-cons -voc +hi -ba -fr (-lo)] my system, to distinguish it from [w],
which is [-cons -voc +hi +ba] or [j] [-C -V +hi +fr] and also relates it to
[1] and can relate it to [@]--
[1] [+voc +hi -ba -fr (-lo)]
[@] [+voc -hi -ba -fr -lo]

By centralizing M\, I've eliminated the need to specify [+rounded] for w
(rounding is simply redundant for back vowels/glides).
