Implosives have stop stricture, so "infricatives" wouldn't be implosives. The five you name (the second one is actually dental/alveolar) are the five listed as possible implosives in the IPA. I think I've encountered a glottal implosive as a speech sound somewhere. There are pulmonic ingressive forms of [f] and [h] that would be regular fricatives if they were egressive. -- Mark
