I have repaired the table -- the semivowel /j/ is the only true palatal consonant in Southern Pomo. The term 'postalveolar' is the most appropriate term for consonants like esh (as in English 'ship') and the affricates of Southern Pomo. Note that these affricates are stops, as all affricates are, but they are not plosives in the traditional sense; they have a fricative release. The /w/ is labiovelar, as it is in all languages, and is not solely labial in pronunciation.
