That's one possibility.  I thought maybe the labio-velarity of the [_w]
would prevail, and you'd get perhaps [N] or [N_w].

Another possibility would be:  vowel nasalization + rounding, so you'd end
up with odd Brazilian-ish diphthongs like [aw~] [iw~] [ew~]--- already round
vowels would probably be lengthened, or get an off-glide [u:~] or maybe
[u@~]
