Well, it evidently can, or he wouldn't have made it.  Remember that
Conlanging is a possibility-space, and a very large one.  Some are more
likely to occur in a real language than another, but the unlikelyhood
shouldn't stop us from coming up with original ideas to put in our
Conlangs.  Because some weird thing happen in real life - things that
would seem, at a first glance, un-Natlangish, occuring in very few other
languages, or in only one family.  Clicks, for instance.

Um..yeah.
