 d--[NHV1]Could you have a look at the orthography of this sound? I’m unsure why there were two indications of it being dental but it seems fine like this: https://www.omniglot.com/writing/sindebele.htm

dl --  [NHV2]As the /dl/ often indicates [ɮ] I used that symbol instead of [ɧ] as indicated on Omniglot
