Are there any languages which have a coda BUT no coda clusters and only onset clusters? Languages like Hdi, where there are only onset clusters but where they violate the sonority sequencing principle, is not what I am looking for. I am after something like "the language has codas, but the only cluster it has is #TR, a plosive+liquid onset cluster".
