 The consonant chart
The voiceless consonant is always the one to the left.
If we want to list consonants in a chart, there's an immediate problem: there are seven dimensions in which consonants can differ from each other, but only two dimensions in which a printed chart can arrange them.
Fully describing a consonant involves answering each of the seven questions discussed earlier, that is, specifying the consonant for each of the parameters:

While this would incur a violation of Linearity, the constraint governing metathesis (see Hume 1995), this apparently came to be preferable to the preceding stage which showed a rising diphthong, and probably later a palatalized consonant.
For instance, while the forms [tab.da] and [tad.ba] violate both NoCoda and *Place/Labial (they have a coda and a labial consonant) there are languages with labials and codas, but no labials in coda position.
This is contrary to the well established practice in Hispano-Romance and other languages of nasal consonants assimilating to following obstruents.

 This paper is an investigation of why languages develop consonant mutations
In order for a voiceless stop to become a voiced stop, it must violate Ident (voi), while a fricative must incur a violation of Ident (cont) to emerge as a stop.
But in order for a voiceless fricative to emerge as a voiced stop, this segment must violate Ident (voi) and Ident (cont), something that Ident(voi)andIdent(cont) is designed to block.
Unlike affixation to roots with voiceless stops or voiced fricatives, the prefixation of /N-/ to roots with initial voiceless fricatives does not yield a prenasalized voiced stop.

I came to the conclusion that I/we generally raise the [ai] sound when it comes before a voiceless consonant, and do not when it’s before a voiced consonant (or no consonant), at least for one syllable words.
But along comes nitrate, which does have a raised diphthong, and which Jensen (1993), another speaker of the dialect, uses to argue that the foot domain cannot be part of the structural description.
Even aside from the nitrate problem, it seems like a pretty cool example of combining ‘do something only if’ and ‘do something except when’ … raise the diphthong only if it’s followed by a voiceless consonant (or remnant thereof), except when the following syllable has any degree of stress.

Also, the "some" shows a strong perturbation from the initial voiceless [s] that obscures how low the intended f0 is later in the syllable.
As an `intrinsic' characteristic of its voiceless specification, a voiceless obstruent is usually associated with a dip into the consonant constriction and a dramatic fall starting from a much higher frequency just after the consonant release.
In interpreting such `intrinsic' segmental effects, it is important to note the actual voicing of the consonant, and not simply its phonemic status.
