Subject:  Phonetics term for "equi-strictural"

Is there a generally accepted term for a sequence of like manner of
articulation, as ''homorganic'' means a sequence of like place?
''Diphthong'' is close but is limited to vowels.

For example, what term could be used to include tauto or
heterosyllabic sequences like [hs] [fx] [tk] [ao] [rl] [wj] [mn]?

I am uncertain whether nasal-oral stop sequences should be included or
excluded in this term. Similarly, central-lateral approximant
sequences. This is because manner is similar but not identical to
stricture.

I think it would be best to exclude geminates as a special case, as
they are a special case of homorganic sequences.

Please email with ideas.

Citations to literature preferable, or good neologisms, and I'll post replies.

Dear Colleagues,

I am in the process of writing 6 entries for the Encyclopedia of
Arabic Language and Linguistics dealing with vowel backing ; vowel
elision ; vowel fronting ; vowel lowering ; vowel raising and vowel
reduction .

Any references, suggestions, citations, etc., would be most appreciated.

Please send info to me directly at  melissa.barkat at univ-lyon2.fr

Many thanks,
