Re: Uqonian
The answer is nay. There aren't any geminate stops they contrast with, because ejectives are the genesis of stop geminates. The inventory presented is the one used for describing characteristics like sandhi or syllable structure, rather than the standard. Can all other consonants be geminated? I no...

Re: Uqonian
I find it slightly confusing that you use <q> and <ƣ> to refer to labialized velars but <qq> to refer to a uvular.

It extends into Cornwall, but there are so many non-locals there (chiefly from SE England, but also elsewhere) that most of the speakers you'll hear will be non-rhotic.
