And Rosta scripsit:

Yes.  That's what I thought you were going after.

Fair enough.  Wikipedia reports it as phonemic in Cornish and Hupa, and
allophonic in Nahuatl (before voiceless consonants) and Taiwanese
(as an articulation of /hw/), aside from its special status in English.

> How about /ixi/ and /uxu/?

Unless I am very careful, I always articulate [x] as [X] in any language.
I have no trouble with either [iXi] or [uXu].

Where the wombat has walked, it will inevitably walk again.
