Yes, as far as I know. Kirshenbaum's ASCII IPA (that I use for the
Valdyan speech sounds on my web page) has it als "s<lat>". Obviously,
it can be approached from the 's' side as well as from the 'l' side.

As Sally remarked in another message, it's indeed the Welsh 'll'
sound. Valdyan also has it (I transliterate it 'lh'), and IIRC
Teonaht too.
