Table 5 Distribution of /dz/ realizations with regard to roundedness. The first three realizations ([Z], [G], [L]) are those that were commonly discussed in the previous literature, while the rest are not. [Z]: dental sibilants; [G]: velar obstruents; [L]: laterals; [D]: dental nonsibilants; [R]: retroflexes; [V]: labials; Ø: total deletion. Asterisks indicate significance in post hoc tests, and asterisks in parentheses indicate near-significance. Subscript numbers after each phonetic variant indicate its frequency of occurrence
