Glottal stop trivia:

In Shawnee the glottal stop /?/ and /h/ are one phoneme. /?/ occurs before
obstruents and /h/ occurs elsewhere. They historically come from the same
sound, and Alford (early 1800's)  wrote them the same in his gospels. In
Gatschet's time (late 1800's) they were still both [h].
