Comments: /ts/ is found only in Russian borrowings. Uvular affricates are described as stops ‘following the Caucasological tradition’. Of four uvular plosives mentioned on p. 27, only three made it to the table on p. 35: /q/ is not mentioned there. Also out of three palato-alveolar affricates mentioned on p. 29, only two are mentioned in the table: /dʒ/ was left out.
