I hold that clicks are stops, since they, like stops, can be
readily prenasalized and aspirated.  (I know it is claimed that
aspirated fricatives occur too, but (a) they're much rarer than
aspirated stops and (b) I would have to see evidence that they aren't
really sequences.)

I thought of this when looking at the ASCII/IPA, where clicks are to
be represented by diacritic "!" following the homorganic stops, which
by my lights is a good choice.

Next question is, Do they come from stops historically, or what?
My guess would be that since they're original only in Khoi-San (?), not
much comparative evidence is available.
