to know

Btw, is this a new language you're working on, Dormouse? Also, I'm interested in knowing how is a t̚ʔ cluster in onset different from an ejective? (In fact, I've heard Navajo ejectives described pretty much like the impression your notation gives me, which roused my curiosity.)

It is a new conlang. I haven't studied ejectives, so I can't say with certainty if there is a difference. But from listening to Wikipedia recordings, ejectives have an audible release at the POA, whereas [t̚ʔ] doesn't. But I haven't fully worked out the details of the phonology yet, so ejectives might be involved eventually; I'll have to look into it more.
