[Lingtyp] Labialization in complex onset

[Ian Joo]

Dear typologists,

is there a language such that in a biconsonantal onset where neither segment involves labial articulation (such as /sk-/) followed by a rounded vowel (such as /u/), the lip rounding articulation cannot start from the first onset segment and must start from the second onset segment? For example, /sku/ where the lip rounding starts only at /k/ and cannot start at /s/?

Regards,
Ian
