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...
