Analysing nasal glides


For my phonology homework, we're given the nasals [n] [m] [η] and nasalized
glides [w] and [j]. From the data, I've found that [n] and [m] are phonemes
and [η] is an allophone of /n/. What I can't figure out is where the nasal
glides fit in. They appear w̃ and ȷ̃.

The exact question is this:

To summarize, the nasalized glides w̃ and ȷ̃ are cases where ん or N (the
Japanese syllable-final moraic nasal sound/uvular nasal) comes before /w/ and
/j/ approximants, or in other words, the w or y-sounds. Observe these: (koNya
with ȷ̃) こ **ん** や, (yaNwari with w̃) や **ん** わり, (kaNyo with ȷ̃) か **ん** よ.

In general, where the ん or N comes before /j/ and /w/, the N nasalizes stuff.
This answer's pretty simple though. Please add on or correct as needed!
