This article describes the changes in oral pressure during [pk] and [kp] sequences in asymmetrical [i:,u:] vowel contexts as well as in symmetrical [i:,u:,a:] contexts. Observed patterns are in part similar to those described in the literature. Although there are speakers who consistently use certain patterns in a given context, the patterns can also vary both within and across speakers.
