Reference
 

Street, Chester S. 1976a. "Spelling problems with voiced and voiceless stops in Murinbata." READ: Promoting Literacy and Literature. Interest level: specialist.

Summary
 

Voiced set of stops is still used intervocalically and elsewhere since many minimal pairs prove a contrast of voicing versus nonvoicing. Because there is no contrast following a nasal, choose to use only the voiceless set of stops following nasals.
