Notes : The Masarwa forms are unclear; initial d-, in particular, is known to be sometimes transcribed by Bleek insead of the voiced lateral click, but here we have a voiceless palatal one. (On the other hand, the palatal click is almost never transcribed in Masarwa - in most cases, it seems to be realized as either the alveolar or the lateral one).
