/g/ occurs in loanwords and is not considered native. The glottal stop may actually be a feature of the preceding sonorant, and not a phoneme (it only occurs after vowels and nasal stops, never in syllable-initial position; no stop visible in spectrograms even when the word ending in this sound was followed by a vowel-initial word). Appr/Lat stands for Approximate or Lateral.
