Let's review what we know about the phonemic inventory so far:

t d k g
s ʃ ʎ̥
ts kx
jʷ
i a ɯ ʌ ɛ

phonemic labialization on plosives, fricatives and affricates

breathy voiced plosives

phonemic pharyngealized consonants

four affricates

3 POA for plosives and corresponding afficates. (fourth is perhaps a lateral affricate)

vowel length distinction

phonemic rhotacized vowels

36 phonemes in all

no /p/
no /b/
no phonemic nasals (although we haven't ruled out nasals as allophones)

sʷ ʃʷ ʎ̥ʷ (???)
ts tʃ cʎ(?) kx
tsʷ tʃʷ cʎʷ kxʷ (???????)

Voiceless fricatives become voiced (so /s/ becomes [z], etc.) before voiced plosives.

There is a glottal stop.

It would have to be allophonic, as there are only 3 POA's for plosives, and we've already decided they are alveolar, palatal and velar.
