Note that velaric and glottalic airstreams are also technically airstreams
as well as the pulmonic. Damin is also the only natlang outside of Africa
that contains clicks (velaric ingressives), and it's the only natlang I
know of with a bilabial velaric egressive (possibly the only natlang
velaric egressive that I know of, but don't quote me).
wow, I can't believe I actually understood some of that. ;)
