I can't, but Wikipedia can be of help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kung-ekoka_language
According to that page, dental series would be something like:
voiced plosive [d]
voiceless plosive [t]
voiceless aspirated plosive [t_h]
voiced fricative [z]
voiceless fricative [s]
voiced affricate [dz]
voiceless affricate [ts]
voiceless aspirated affricate [ts_h]
ejective affricate [ts_>]
voiced click [=_v]
voiced aspirated click [=_vh]
voiceless click [=]
voiceless aspirated click [=_h]
affricated click [=s]
glottalized click [=?]
nasalized click [=_n]
Well, that's 16-way distinction...
