Preglottalized stop

Preglottalized stop is a poorly defined concept in phonetics. Depending on the author, the term may mean implosive; implosive with little ingressive airflow; voiceless implosives; or consonantal segments that have a glottal component preceding an oral component, something that is not known to ever be phonologically relevant.
